where to buy yamalube? - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

mountainracer · 08-11-2008, 09:03 PM

hey eveyone, just joined today, hope maybe someone can help me find a place to buy yamalube 4 (20w40) and oil filter at the same web sight. I'm having some trouble finding any one who has both oil and filter. the manual calls for yamalube 4 (10w30) or yamalube 4 (20w40). it also says you can use conventional sae (10w30) or sae (20w40). I've been using conventional yamalube sae (20w40) but I want to start using yamalube 4 (20w40). if anyone can tell me who sells yamalube 4 (20w40) or yamalube sae (20w40) and the oil filter (hiflow or otherwise) please let me know. thanks.

Welcome to the site. Glad your here.

What if I told you that you could get several higher quality oils, and filters for less money? If you knew it would not violate the warrenty, and would protect your engine better for less money, and be easier to find would you be interested?

I would be.

Also, what's the deal with warranty and oil?

if your engine has a prob yamaha can tell what oil you use, thus they can void your warranty. same goes as the filter, however I have never heard of them doing this, except for once but there was more to it except oil and filter. I personally use Amsoil. basically as long as it is for a motorcycle you should be okay.

I know there are other kinds of oil but I want to stick with yamalube.

That is not correct.
Moss Magnuson act. Unless the manufacturer provides said product for free they can not deem what brand other than thiers is used will void any warrenty.

Its just a fact. You can use any oil you like that meets the call out spec.

We have a blue million oil threads/filter threads on this exact subject.

Look in the garage section of the forum.
I am not knocking you, just saying that its incorrect. Yamaha can not void any warrenty based on type of oil other than Yamalube or Yamaha filters.

yamalube 20w40 is not supposed to be available anymore. It is my understanding that it was ceased production.

really? so what weight would you run in 30 to 100 degree f. weather. I ran yamalube sae.10w30 and thought it felt to thin. 20w40 feels right. what do you run?
