What the foc is wrong with the oil Yamaha recommend for the engine?
The one i just put in my bike is gonna be absoutely fine.
As you always point out, in this day and age of the possibility of court prosecution by some sad bastard (technical term) companies simply cannot afford to mess about if they want to stay in business.
Worse still, we're talking about engine oil, which primarily HAS to be of a certain spec, and secondly, if wrong, has the capability to wreck an engine.
If their oil even came close to either wrongdoing they'd be shut down immediately.
I found a bargain......i'll be riding to work soon........i expect to get there, with zero complaints from my engine.
In fact, my old oil barely touched 4000 miles anyway so if i really didn't like it, for whatever reason, i could still use that for another 2000 miles.

[size=1em]I'm 100% sure sure it'll be just fine though. [/size]
