Hi to all my genny needs oil change its the first servise i have a Yamaha ef2000is
i was going to use full syn oil so just to be sure it was ok i read a few post
on the net about genny 4 stroke oil and seemed all ok so just to make sure
i sent a email to Yamaha Australia they sent me a email stating that semi syn
oli was ok but full syn oli must not be used just wondering to all the genny people out there what do they use and do they use full syn oi,l the oil i was going to use was Amsoil or
mobil full syn 10=40 or 10-30

hi stans truck, We have ef6600 yamaha generators in commercial aplication that have 7000hrs on them and they have only ever run on mineral oil, straight 30. My own yamaha ef1000is has done in excess of 1500 hours on straight 30. We were told by the japs they were desighned to run for 700 hours, not 7000. good oil, regular changes, no probs. I would never put a synthetic oil in it. I am biased, cos i am a yamaha generator dealer. In our workshop we use valvoline oil in them as yamaha never marketed a straight 30 oil. cheeres mm
