Don,t even think Yamalube is a Synthetic oil so its defiantly the the best stuff out there. Many full synthetic oil are for wet clutches such as Amsoil and Mobile1.

i told my neighbor as you can use whatever oil you want but if it is not yamalube make sure it is an API rating of SG and not SL.

The dealers say you can use other oils that are rated the same, but do not use synthetic in the engine. Apparently the crankcase and UltraMatic bearing share the same oil. They say if you use synthetic it is basically too slippery which would be good for the engine but not good for the special bearing in the drive clutch.
