I'm planning a 5500 mile trip. Yamaha recommends changing the oil every 4000 miles. I now use Yamaha Oil and it works fine. But, I was not sure what I should do since I need to change the oil during my trip.
...which is why I moved this to NEPRT. Maybe you want to check out the Best of NEPRT?Ohh, one last question, which oil do you all use? Is it worth getting synthetic oil?
Mobile 1 5w-50 is what I use. Every online oil comparison I have read, Mobile 1 ranked near or at the top. Mobile 1 is especially known for holding it's viscosity much longer than most brands. I also heard Shell Rotella 15W-40 is good as well, but I can't get any here in Canada. Shell and Walmart on sell Rotella T for diesel.Thanks for all the info everyone.Ohh, one last question, which oil do you all use? Is it worth getting synthetic oil?
Ummmm... that's what it is.I also heard Shell Rotella 15W-40 is good as well, but I can't get any here in Canada. Shell and Walmart on sell Rotella T for diesel.
+gunnyThere is a really simple and 99 cent solution to your problem. Find a Jiffy Lube location mid way your destination. Stop by at Jewel or any supermarket and buy a 99 cents pan. You would also need a wrench to take the drain bolt out and screw driver to take the panel pulled. Pull on Jiffy Lube lot, drain the oil in the pan, put new oil in. Give them your old oil and continue on. Problem solved.
