New to me 2004 Yamaha FX Cruiser High Output (Yamaha's R1 engine)
Manual calls for really an SN rated oil 10W-30. Yamaha lube switched to 10W-40 Conventional. Looking at VOA of yamalube it looks like a dumbed down version of Rotella. I run rotella in all of my OPE and Motorcycle. However its either 5w-40 or 15w-40.
What oil is recommended for this engine? The synthetics off the shelf are either high-milage variants and semi-syn. Any truth to conventional offering high rust protection while not in use?
Rotella 5w-40?
Rotella 15w-40?
Amsoil is a hard NO for me. Way to expensive to get it with shipping. Dont want to deal with their everyones an amsoil salesmen. Not my idea of a healthy business model.
