Could someone who has more knowledge and knows more than me (not hard) make me feel better and tell me why I just paid twice the price for Yamalube motor oil than a name brand motor oil you would by at NAPA? I guess those of you who know me that I am traditionaly cheap but I can't help but wonder if Yamaha's oil (who I am sure is not produced by Yamaha) is worth that much more. This is not even a high performance engine 60hp. I don't know maybe I am cheap. cmorjoe

Joe, I wish I could tell you if Yamalube is worth the price or not since I am no expert on the petroleum industry but I use it in my V-Max 225 as not to void the engine warranty.

i have always used it in my 2 stroke motocross bikes. I found it burned clean and my top end would last longer. I tried finding a study that would be more informative for you but couldn't. Sorry.
