My brand of oil !
I know this is a big topic in all motor but I wanted to share with everyone.
I work at a boat dealer so Its easy for me to get.
Yamalube 4- M FC-W
High levels of bearing protection, far more than automotive oil.
High resistance to foaming under high rpm.
Superior lubrication even when fuel dilltion is present.
Far superior rust and corrosion protection.
I wanted to share this with everyone to help get more life out of your motors
to have better racing!

The 4-m stands for 4 stroke.
So if all oil is the same why use only Mobil 1 or Torco? You should just go get the no-name oil as it costs less!

Re: My brand of oil ! (jdmcars.com)
haha rob....a little off topic but when i was in norwalk ohio for the ndra finals i was in a gas station and found some oil....it was a black bottle with a wh ite lable...and all it said on it was "OIL" real big with "SAE 30" under it. no brand name or anything. it was awesome so i had to buy it just as decoration. on the back of the bottle it says "caution- this oil is not suitable for use in most gas powered engines built after 1963. use in modern engines may cause equipment harm"
best 2 dollars i ever spent!

Acutally, AutoZone sells something very similar. It comes with a Yellow sticker though, maybe it is an upgrade
, and still have that same warning on it in small print on the back -I wonder how many people use that without even reading it. I think @ AutoZone it is about $0.79 or so.

If I didnt pay for it, I would use it too!!!! (cant blame you there..
)... Its funny though oil is always such a heated debate..I work for an automotive dealer, and people are always talking about how superior synthetic oils are compared to conventional, blah,blah,etc,etc...My only argument is that I have been using conventional oil on a regular basis for the last 10 years in all the cars that I have owned, and never had any types of problems...Sorry, I am not trying to turn this in to an oil debate, I would use that **** too if it was free!!

Kroger used to sell Cost Cutter beer with only BEER on the label. I remember my grandpa drinking it when I was VERY young.

Everything you stated is true about boat oils, who ever said that automotive oil and boat oil is the same, that is wrong. Boats oils are designed to with stand way more thermal brake down the standard automotive oils, simply because boat engines are under constant load.

That's when a bottle of oil was mostly just oil. No API ratings, just Detergent or Non-detergent. I'm showing my age.
