[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 160658, member: 118"] Robert - using 10W-40 will not void the warranty. Many, many, many of us around here don't use the Yamalube 20W-40, preferring our own personal brand and viscosity. I am of the opinion that Yamaha recommends 20W-40 just because they are pretty much the only one that markets it. Use whatever floats your boat. Put synthetic oil in whenever you want if you wish. Personally, I as well as several others use 15W-40 conventional oils of the diesel variety made my Rotella, Delvac, or Delo. Good stuff. There are tons of oil threads on this forum with all kinds of info. I would highly recommend that you or anyone else wanting to learn more about oil search for threads in which forum member Jestal has provided input. The dude knows his shit about oil after being a GM powertrain development engineer for many, many moons. [/QUOTE]
