Why Yamalube
YAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA Part
born of the engineers' passion and belief that
engine oil is an important liquid engine com-
ponent. We form teams of specialists in the
fields of mechanical engineering, chemistry,
electronics 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 ba-
lance of additives to make sure the final oil
clears our performance standards. Thus,
Yamalube mineral, semisynthetic and syn-
thetic oils have their own distinct characters
and value. Yamaha's experience gained over
many years of research and development
into oil since the 1960's helps make
Yamalube the best choice for your Yamaha
engine.
