Define better? If you mean better quality for the same money this one is better quality than questionable brand oil:

Yamaha do not do oil, Yamalube is the cheapest base oil Yamaha bought from some oil manufacturer.

I usually get mine from here:-

I bought a load of crush washers and magnetic sump plug a while ago so don't need those but it worked out the best deal for what I wanted.

You're not very good at this shopping around lark are you?
The general idea is to show someone a better deal than the one they started with.  :lol

Thanks for the helpful replies. I think I'll try Castrol Power this time around.
Cheers
