NOTICE
In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of "CD" or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
"ENERGY CONSERVING II" or
higher.
Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the crankcase.

for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.
11. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.

Why Yamalube

YAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA
Part born of the engineers' passion
and belief that engine oil is an impor-
tant liquid engine component. We form
teams of specialists in the fields of me-
chanical engineering, chemistry, elec-
tronics and track testing, and have
them develop the engine together with
the oil it will use. Yamalube oils take full
advantage of the base oil's qualities
and blend in the ideal balance of addi-
tives to make sure the final oil clears
our performance standards. Thus, Ya-
malube mineral, semisynthetic and
synthetic oils have their own distinct
characters and value. Yamaha's expe-
rience gained over many years of re-
search and development into oil since
the 1960's helps make Yamalube the
best choice for your Yamaha engine.
