    Yamalube?

    Anyone using anything other than Yamalube? I have a vmax 250 efi & no dealer within a couple hundred miles of me. Thanks, Jeff

    I recently found out that i was getting Quicksilver instead of Yamalube from my dealer. Been running that in my 150 since i bought it last year. Never had any problems.

    I run Yamalube but in Alaska last week I noticed the guides were using Pennzoil in all of their Yamahas. They told me that the 1991 Yammy 150 had always used Pennzoil and never had a problem under very heavy usage. Makes me wonder about all the hype.

    I've been using Pennzoil synthetic blend in my 2000 Yamaha 150 VMAX for years with no problem at all.

    Maybe try AMSOIL - you can have it shipped to your door for about $16 -18 per gallon.
