Description:

Yamalube 4M from Yamaha is a four-stroke outboard engine oil that features an approved NMMA FC-W mineral-based formulation intended to perform optimally in harsh marine environments.

The FC-W rating sets the standard for outboard lubrication, as well as corrosion protection, and resistance to the harmful effects of oil dilution. This ensures that your Yamaha outboard oil meets the minimum. But Yamaha goes one step further. Yamaha's exclusive and proprietary additive package means the Yamalube 4M formulation exceeds the industry standards for lubricity and corrosion protection.

Automotive engine oil will not pass the rigors of the FC-W test. In fact, most automotive engines cruise at 2500 rpm, whereas an outboard can typically operate from 4500 to 6000 rpm all day long. That kind of stress will literally tear automotive engine oils apart. Simply put, an automotive oil is not designed or formulated to provide the protection required by an outboards moisture-rich, high-rpm, high-load environment.

Go with Yamalube 4M.
