Which Yamalube Oil Do I Choose?

domo online blog 4 3-17-14In a Yamaha outboard motor, there is no real substitute to using oil that is specifically designed for these motors. Yamaha makes both motors and oil. When you put the two together, you get an engine that is running well for years to come, without anything to worry about on your part. It is also a great way to make sure you don’t void the warranty.

Of course, there are several different types of Yamalube oil. You need to make sure that you are getting the right one for your boat. If the motor is a 2 stroke engine, then you need to use the Yamaha oil that is designed for these engines. There is even oil designed by Yamaha that is specifically for WaveRunners.

Finding WaveRunner Oil for a New WaveRunner

domo online blog 3 3-17-14I plan on getting a WaveRunner for this summer. I will probably be buying a used one rather than trying to get my hands on one that is brand new, since that is somewhat expensive. My only concern with having a used one is that the maintenance on it may not have been done properly in the past. I will want to drain all of the gas and oil to start at least somewhat fresh.

I know that you can technically use any one of many different oils in a WaveRunner, but I would rather use Yamaha oil that is specifically engineered for use in WaveRunners. I just think that having oil that is actually made for the item that you are using is always better than choosing oil that will work, but isn’t designed to be used specifically with the engine.

Mercury Premium Plus Comes Highly Recommended

domo online blog 2 3-17-14My father loves to hang out on fishing boards online to talk to other fishermen about everything that has to do with fishing. They talk about where they have managed to catch certain types of fish, what lures they have been using, and even what boat motor they have been running. It is a great place to get the information that you need on just about anything fishing related.

When my father wanted to know more about Mercury premium plus motor oil, the people on the website were quick to give him their opinion. They recommended the oil highly, if of course he had a compatible motor. Just about everyone had a glowing review of the product and some people even told him where he could buy it cheaply and easily.

Surprised by the Cleanliness of Evinrude XD 100 Oil

domo online blog 1 3-17-14One of my friends has really severe asthma. He has to carry an inhaler everywhere, just in case he starts having an asthma attack. One of the things that sets off his asthma is extremely strong ashy smoke from a boat engine. This meant that he was frequently having asthma attacks when he was out on the lake in his small boat.

I recommended that he start using Evinrude XD 100 oil, because this produced a far cleaner smoke. He was skeptical at first, but once he tried it, he said that he never wanted to switch back to the generic oil that he had been using before. Now he can enjoy a day out on the lake and only worry about pollen levels and dust in the air.

Choices with Outboard Oil

domo online blog 5 3-10-14Everyone who owns a boat has a slightly different opinion on what type of oil will work best in their motor. My uncle, for example, only relies on oil that has the same brand name as the boat motor that he is using. He won’t use oil that isn’t listed in the manual for the motor. My cousin is not nearly as picky with his oil.

Whenever he needs to get outboard oil, he will simply find TC-W3 oil, but is not necessarily brand name oil. Over time, he often has had to decarb his engine, because these oils don’t burn as cleanly as brand name ones do. My uncle prefers to just get better prices by buying in bulk.

Mixed with Mercury 2 Stroke Oil

domo online blog 4 3-10-14My father has always loved taking his boat out to go fishing. He wakes up really early in the morning so that he can get started. Usually, he makes sure that his boat is completely ready to go the night before, so that he doesn’t have to stop anywhere on his way to the boat launch. The last thing he wants to do is waste any time.

The day before he goes fishing, he’ll fill his gas tank with fuel and mix in the proper ratio of Mercury 2 stroke oil. When this is done, he loads all of the gear that he will need the next day, into the back of his truck. He doesn’t like using live bait, so he doesn’t have to worry about getting this before he goes fishing. In the morning, everything is ready to go.

Trusting Evinrude Oil in an Evinrude Motor

domo online blog 3 3-10-14My friend recently purchased a new boat. He ended up buying a used motor to go with the boat, since it did not come with one initially. It was an Evinrude motor that one of his friends had for a boat that they no longer chose to use anymore. My friend spent several hours reading up on the motor online, so that he could learn more about it.

He wanted to make sure that he could keep the motor running perfectly. He learned what kind of Evinrude oil needed to go in the motor, exactly how much oil to use, and what other maintenance needed to be performed regularly. He got a checklist of some of the required maintenance and decided to start fresh by getting these things done right away.

Boat with Bulk Mercury Optimax Oil

domo online blog 2 3-10-14My uncle’s friend used to have a high powered speed boat. He loved to take it out on the bay and race around all of the little islands and all of that. It was a boat that he basically used just for running around and having a good time on the weekends and holidays. Eventually, he got bored of it and sold it because it was expensive to run.

When he sold his boat, he also included a lot of bulk Mercury Optimax oil that he had purchased for the boat. Since he was able to buy a lot of it for cheaper than buying just the amount that he needed, he also chose to get a bit extra for the next season or two when he went to buy it. There was no reason to keep it once he sold the boat.

Learning About Outboard Motors and 2 Cycle Oil

domo online blog 1 3-10-14When my sister was young, my father loved to try to teach her how to do different things. He always stuck to what he knew, because he didn’t want to give her the wrong information. Fishing was something he loved, so naturally he wanted her to love it as well. He’d wake her up early in the morning to take her fishing in his little boat.

When she was old enough, he taught her about the motor on his boat and how to keep it running smoothly. He taught her how to steer the boat with the motor and how to mix the 2 cycle oil with the gasoline in the correct ratio. Today, she doesn’t often go fishing and usually doesn’t work on boat motors, but at least she could if she needed to.

A Business with Bulk Motor Oil

domo online blog 5 3-3-14My brother-in-law recently decided to start his own business. Since he lives close to the marina and boats have always been a big part of his life, he is starting a business repairing boat motors and doing routine maintenance on them. There aren’t any other businesses like this near the marina other than one at the marina, which charges high prices.

My brother-in-law managed to find a space to start the business that is close to the marina. It used to be a space that sold boats. He bought some bulk motor oil and got a bunch of tools. He has hired a couple of his friends to work for him. Pretty soon, he’ll be in business for the spring season, when everyone needs their boats ready to go.

Determining the Best Outboard Motor Oil

domo online blog 4 3-3-14My grandpa is a man of tradition. He is one of those people who feel like the old way may have been a much better way than the way people do things now. He is always the last to switch to something new. For example, he didn’t get email until recently. The same holds true for the way that he takes care of his boat and its outboard motor.

Last time he was in the marina shop nearest to his home, there was a whole display touting some brand new type of motor oil. The salesperson really wanted to get him to buy it. He was trying to explain how it was great oil. In the end, my grandpa went with what he always gets, because he knew it was the best outboard motor oil for him.

Yamalube 2W Oil is for Personal Watercraft, Not Outboard Motors

domo online blog 3 3-3-14With all of the numbers and letters on different types of oil, it is no wonder people become confused. There are so many different types of oil and that is before you start looking at specific formulas and brand names. In a single marina shop, there could be several shelves filled with different types of oil that could potentially be needed at the pier.

You really need to make sure that you research your motor and different types of oil, before you decide to put something in your boat. For example, Yamalube 2W oil is a great oil to use in most personal watercraft, like Sea-doos and Jet Skis. However this does not mean that it should be used in an outboard motor. Make sure you check your user manual for oils that are right for your motor.
