Proper Engine Oil for 2007 Phazer FX

[jkraeger]

I've got the service manual and it state 0w 30. But then there is a caution about not using oil with an API Service Grade of CD or higher. Mobile and Amsoil are both rated CF. I assume CF is higher. Does this mean I'm stuck with using Yamalube? The caution is in regards to starter clutch slippage.

Thanks,
Jeff

I just changed mine this weekend used the new Yamalube 0w40 full synthetic. It is a Pain to change the filter. I installed a k&n filter which has a nut on the top to use a 17mm wrench to tighten/loosen makes it a lot easier since there is no frickin way you can get a regular filter wrench in there.

This could be an interesting thread ,I called the yamaha dealer here in NY they stated 0w30 amsoil is fine .

I run the Amsoil now but when I was in warrantee I stuck to the Yamalube.That way no questions.Never need any warrantee for motor though.

Glad to here that Amsoil 0-40 is good. I just bought 7 quarts of it (and 1 bottle of 2-smoke oil) at an auction for $35 (includes tax and buyers premium). I have to drive over and get it, but I figure I'll have about fifty bucks invested.

ow40 works well in my phazer and my brothers and they have 5500km on them

FYI- a dealer or manufacture cannot deny warantee based on what brand of oil you use unless they are providing oil free of charge.
