line and oil in a clean container before
filling the fuel tank.
NOTICE
Always use fresh gasoline, and fill
the fuel tank with a fresh mix just be-

EAU41838 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-
ECA15602
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,
Yamalube 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.
If the recommended 2-stroke engine
oil is not available, use an equivalent
high-quality oil.
NOTICE
Never mix two brands of 2-stroke
engine oil in the same batch. Always
use the same type of oil to ensure
maximum engine performance.
Should it be necessary to use a dif-
ferent oil brand, be sure to drain the
fuel tank and the carburetor float
chamber of the old premixed fuel
prior to filling with the new type.
