I am getting ready to do my 4000 mile service and sugestions or things to look for. Using yamalube oil and K&N oil filter.

I suggest you start using a synthetic oil such as:

1. Mobil 1 4x Racing oil
2. Amsol or
3. Rotella, which is a very good oil but definitely not a pure synthetic, no matter how large they print it on their container.

Also there are better Oil filters:

1. Mobil M1-110 - $12
2. Purolator Pure One Pl14610 - $6
3. Bosch 3323 - $6

bosch oil filters are junk and i use K&N oil filters which are better than any others i have family that are mechanics and have researched oil filters and the yamalube is full synthetic.

coursonap - Can you provide a link or some documentation to support your position on Yamalub being a full synthetic???

Not ALL Yamalube is synthetic. They RE-BRAND and over charge for Mineral, Semi, and Full. Trust me, there are better, cheaper oils.

We are in full agreement about the K & N though. Very good filters.
