Hello all, Long time lurker here.
I have read ad nauseum more threads about this than I care to reveal....so here goes anyway
I have a 2002 Yamaha F115 (4stroker)
It only has about 250 hours and I dump out perfectly good Yamalube every year, well it's like $30 a gallon now so...
After reading all about the HDEOs on here I bought some Delo 400 XLE Synblend SAE 10W-30. It was less than $15 a gallon.
I am curious what ya'll think about this oil in a 4 stroke outboard.......mostly wanting to "DO NO HARM!"
Delo® 400 XLE Synblend SAE 10W-30 is a premium synthetic blend fuel economy and mixed fleet motor oil recommended for naturally aspirated and turbocharged four-stroke diesel engines and four-stroke gasoline engines in which the API CJ-4 or SM service category and SAE 10W-30 viscosity grade are recommended.
