Yamalube's spec

[Islandvic]

What type of specs does the Yamalube have?

My brother has a GP1200R and our dad has an outboard Yamaha Saltwater Series 200 hp motor.

The both use TWC3 as far as I know.

The other day while at my brother's house I see some W2 in the garage. I asked him why aren't they using the TWC3 type he told me I had to buy last summer when I would borrow the Waverunner.

What's W2?

All I remember was that the TWC3 I bought last summer was synthetic blend according to the Yamaha dealer.

Is this W2 new? Is it as good?

I only ask because I will probably but the Waverunner this coming summer from him and I want to make sure he is using the right stuff.

I saw TWC3 at WalMart by SuperTech. But it was way cheaper than what I remember paying for the Yamalube.

Do you mean TCW-3 versus TCW-2?
If thats what you mean the TCW-2 is an older inferior oil compared to TCW-3.

I think he is refering to Yamalube 2M.

Here is the MSDS. Notice who makes Yammis oil.

Not recommended for WaveRunner or Sport Boats.

I read this off the link.

I think I figured out what he had.


yamalube 2W

---

Yamalube 2-W was designed to provide Yamaha owners with precision-blended oil for their WaveRunner and Sport Boat engines. Using other oils can cause serious damage to the catalytic converter

I think this is TWC-3 replacement.

2W is not a tcw3 replacement. It isnt even a tcw3 oil. It is a low ash oil, api tc, jaso FC, and Iso egd oil.

Save yourself some loot and buy citgo sea and snow. It is the exact same stuff as yamalube 2w
Compare the msds for the two.

Blano,
Do you know if Citgo makes Yamaha's 4 stroke oils also?

 

[blano]

Yes, they do.
