Yamaha Oil
Thanks for all the replies. Looks like I will stick with the Yamaha oil. Problem is the dealer is about fifty miles away. Guess I can stock up heading north this year. And yes I hear that Yamaha makes a great motor. Thanks Guys. But wait! Doesn,t the new Viper look a little like a cat? (had to throw that in)

How far from Walmart to buy full syn M1 0-30?
By all means support your Yamaha dealer but no magic oil for 4s snomo engines with 12,000 mile filter change. Although I do my change my filter every season not necessary but I do it anyway. You are way over thinking this oil thing. Go to TY most use M1 full syn oil easy to get & not expensive. Nothing at all wrong with using 0W-30 Yamalube semi synthetic but why do you think you need too?I am not trying to over think it; just did not know. This is my first 4 stroke and want to get ready for the season soon. Sounds like I should pick up a spare quart and a couple of filters and that should last me a while. The sled I bought has 108 miles on it so the next oil change won't be for a while. Thanks for all the great feedback.
Now that is a competely different situation you are not broken in yet! Go 500 miles change oil & filter using 0W-30 Yamalube semi synthetic. Then at the end of seaon figuring you will put on 2500 miles change oil to M1 0-30 full syn. You don't want to use the best oil when breaking in semi synthetic is best for that but later full syn is better wearing oil & your engine will last longer using full syn. You will know when fully broken in the engine will be quicker & your MPG wil improve. Took me about 2200 miles until my engine settled in & I started using M1 0-30 full syn at that point.

Am I the only one that would change the oil and filter now since it hasn't been done since the sled was new in 2008? It may not be necessary, but I would do it anyway.
He is fine for now oil & filter but needs to be changed after 500 miles going to be break in metal & worn oil at that point in oil filter. With 108 total miles this engine is like new very tight so current oil will be fine & should not take long to reach the 500 mile mark then for sure the oil filter & oil needs to be changed. You don't need the best oil when breaking in a 4s or won't break in.
eao,
That is incorrect information on Yamalube oil. Years ago Yamalube was made my Citgo. It is now produced by Nippon which is a company that Yamaha has stake in. They have a refinery here in the U.S. which is were it is produced. Yes Nippon is a Japanese company. Essentially Yamaha is producing their own oil here in the state. Thanks, Kip
