I have a 2017 Yamaha boat with twin Yamaha TR-1 naturally aspirated engines. I've been running Yamalube because I was given several jugs when I bought the boat. But I'd rather swap to a full synthetic oil. The manual says 10w-40 with API SJ or SL, but doesn't say anything about using a marine-specific oil. I'm not seeing a whole lot of automotive oils in the 10w-40 weight, but I see a lot of ATV-specific 4T oils that list JASO MA as well as API SL ratings, so I'm wondering if something like that may be the best choice? Super Tech has a 4-Stroke 10w-40 oil that is API SL and also JASO MA rated. I could potentially use that oil in my boat as well as my ATVs. My boat spends most it's time operating in the 5500 to 6300rpm range.
