what is the advantage of yamalube over pennzoil or any other oil, with yamalube they recommend using ring free with every tank of gas.
There is no advantage of Yamalube over Pennzoil if you are referring to Pennzoil's synthetic oil. Any synthetic oil will be better then conventional oils including Yamalube due to all the contaminants that are inherent in any crude oil base stock.
The Yamalube has extreme pressure additives. This could make it run slightly dirty compared to other oils. It might be higher a maintenance product that does offer an increased load capacity and protection.

Many synthetics start out as mineral oil. The filtering and processing can be the same for both products. The difference is where the mineral oil gets bottle as a conventional product the synthetic mineral base gets synthesized into an ester.

There's no "could" about it. YL makes my motor into a gunked up, carbed up mess. My maintenance now is 1/3 what it was. I'm sure it good stuff, but the after affects are costly.

Same here on my OX66
I just switched over to Penzoil, got tired of paying for Yamalube.
I recently switched from Amsoil back to Penn premium plus. The motor smokes a little more, but from what I've heard, it's better for it in the long run as long as I do a de-carb once a year.....and it's much more affordable. I still run Ringfree and Marine Stabil in every tank.
I found this to be "interesting".... according to the lab results (link in this thread) only YL has it as an additive...
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is used as a solid lubricant and a high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) antiwear agent. It forms strong films on metallic surfaces and is a common additive to HPHT greasesÂin case of a catastrophic grease failure, thin layer of molybdenum prevents contact of the lubricated parts.[40] It has also been found to have semi-conductive properties with distinct advantages over traditional silicon or graphene for use in electronics applications.[41]
Peglegpete- translate you post for us slower folks if you dont mind...Is this saying that YL has better additives in it in the case of a failure
The molybdenum and phosphorus are extreme pressure additives. When the oil film is reduced these metallic materials will prevent seizure, metal transfer and excessive wear. Unfortunately these elements burn at a higher temp so the majority will be left behind and cause an increase in carbon build up. I have had good luck with the Yama lube.

I have good luck with Yama lube also .

Not so much better, but this additive, and some others that the other oils don't have. Whether that is "better" or not, I don't know, I'm not a chemical engineer. Obviously, Yamaha believes it's "better" and while the motor is in warranty, it's their risk to manage. Beyond the warranty period, it's their reputation that is on the line... so I use YL, Ring Free and... Sta-bil. When you compare the cost of the additives versus the cost of the investment, it's cheap insurance imho.....
oil is just oil, dead fish,dynasaurs,etc. rest of it is advertisements!
So what is the thoughts about runinng the XLF in Yamaha's? Is it ok or should you stick with the High price YL

Actually, the "rest of it" is additives.... whether or not they help/harm or, are worth the extra expense is the decision at hand. YMMV.....

This is what I run in my HPDI...
