yamalube vs West M tc-w3

[jdevoid]

Any one running a yamaha 2 stroke use anything but yamalube???   I would love to buy WM tc-w3 for $12.95  compared to 30.  The Wm oil has the yamaha logo on it - Does that mean anything?

Yamaha is not an oil company, they have it made, meeting TCW-3 standards.  Tell me they're formulation is worth almost 3 times the cost...

I use the west marine product and it works fine.  

It has a little oaky after taste with hints of mint.. Its great with fish.

I was told a few years ago that Pennzoil semi synthetic is what the Yamaha oil is,been using that forever and it's 13 bucks at wally world.

After doing as much research as you can, run what makes you feel comfortable.  It must be one of the great secrets, since obviously Yamaha does not make their own oil, but what is the difference?  Is it a formula that Yamaha prescribes to the manufacturer?  For me personally, I run the name brand by the MFG, for as much as I go through in a season, the difference in price might amount to $75 at most for the whole summer, BTW, we have an academy sports here in Pensacola, the Yamalube is 23.95 per gallon.

I have run the WM tcw-3 product on all of my Aquasports w. not a single problem.  Don't waste your money
on oil when it could be used for the petro.  

Have a great day
