The owners manual suggests Yamalube 4, SAE10w30 or SAE20w40. It say's recommended engine oil grade: API service SE, SF, SG type or higher. ( What ever that means!!) It has a chart for the temp. range that you ride. It looks like if you ride in 10 degrees to 90 degrees use 10w30, if temp is 5 degrees to 120 degrees use 20w40. The chart is kinda weird and I'm not positive I'm typing it out right, but I gave it a try!!
I ride in 44 degrees up to 100 degrees or so, and I just bought the Yamalube 20w40. The dealer didn't tell me I was buying the wrong stuff so I figure I should be safe!! I bought the filter from them too and he checked to see how much oil I would need, that's why I figured he would say something about the grade of oil if it was wrong!! Like I say, temp. chart is kinda confusing in the owners manual!!
God did that just confuse everybody or what!!! :shock:
