How about an article on 4 stroke oils for sleds? OEM oil vs other brand oils, blends & fully synthetics. I had a heated discussion with Yamaha dealer that refused to use Mobile 1 0-30 fully synthetic oil in my sled over Yamaha 4s blend. Others may be having the same resistance which IMHO is ridiculous. Is there a valid reason to use ONLY OEM oils in a 4 stoke sled.

Profit is a valid reason for the dealer. Warranty just requires it to meet certain criteria - which Mobil 1 Synthetic does. Greedy dealer.

I don't know mark up on yam oil but dealer lost $800 worth of service work on sleds. My buds used Rage needed a lot of work to meet his standards $600 another $180 on my sled. Lost $800 revenue over 4 quarts of oil & we hooked up with a better dealer. Greedy or Stupid?
