lower unti oil question
 

Kind of a stupid question but what type of lower unit oil would you reccomend for my 1999, 200 HP Yamaha salt water series (2 stroke)?? Just curious what people use..

thx

Yamaha makes a lower unit oil you can buy in quarts and gallons I don’t know if any off the shelf lower unit oils are much different, but for me why worry about it just buy their stuff might cost you $2-3 extra per gallon. I do my lower unit oil every 100 hrs. I think that makes a difference. Plugs every 200 hrs. and water pump every 200 to 300 hrs. I add their gas additive one ounce per 10 gal. of gas. Flush the motor after every trip, spray the inside with corrosion blocker a couple of times a year and don’t run the boat much over 4000 rpms, and just use Yamalube with the gas. Works for me
