BillM Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 All the manuals are available via the Yamaha Motors site.. I'd check it out to be certain.. Don't wanna guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Check your manual or contact Yamaha. You don't want to blow that engine because of improper oil for lubrication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tybo Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 How can you own a 200hp outboard and not know what and how much oil it uses??? The same way that 80% of the population doesn`t know what type of oil there car engine uses. Some one else does it for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbuck Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Make sure you get enough. I'd check to see if the API service rating is the same between the original Yamaha oil and the stuff you are buying from CT. If the rating is for example SM on the Yamaha oil and the oil from CT is SM or SN you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskywizard Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 This is a kinder, gentler forum. Other forums I use would have blasted the OP with a barrage of replies that just said, "RTM". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captpierre Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I pay thru the nose for Yamalube for my 115, but worth the peace of mind. I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the specs a the same or better for the aftermarket oil, be happy, don't worry. Yamaha, Mercury, BRP, etc, do not have their own oil wells. They buy oil in large quantities and add extra additives as required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I figure it, perhaps they have the best additives for my girl. For the extra $20 to keep my $12K investment running optimally, Id rather pinch pennies elsewhere. Like $60 for dinner out.
