Best replacement for 2-stroke yamalube

Ok don't wanna substitute yamalube motor oil but what replacement oil would you use if you had to if you can't find yamalube. Walmart in mineola doesn't carry yamalube or where can I find some close by fork.
Thanks

I have read about lot's of people who use Quicksilver or Pennzoil Premium plus synthetic blend, also Amsoil. I just went to Pennzoil PP in my VMAX

any TC-W3

Do you have an Academy close?

Service Marine in Emory has Yamalube, also Diamond Sports on 154.

Pennzoil in my Vmax too. The only thing that makes Yamalube necessary is if your motor is still under warranty.

Penzoil synthetic it what I use...

Just order it online:

They'll deliver it to your front porch.

I've seen dealerships carry it in bulk. I've taken my empty jug back and swap out for filled one. Used to save 3 or 4 dollars.

I run QuikSilver in my Vmax. No issues.

Citgo, its probably the same oil as Yamalube. A guy posted a story on one of the saltwater boards a few years ago where he bought a case of Yamalube and when he opened it, it was a mix of Yamalube and Citgo. You hear all the stories about different additive in oil and etc. Not that many lube plants in this country, it all probably comes from the same few plants.

Chances are that 40 dollar a jug DFI oil I buy aint all that special, but I'm not going to take a chance.

If I had an older 2 stroke and money was an issue, I'd run Citgo on sale at Academy.

Completely false! Yamaha RECOMMENDS Yamalube. They REQUIRE TCW-3. Wonder why? Not saying it's a bad idea but each manufacturer RECOMMENDS their own brand. I run Merc DI oil in my 250XS simply because it's RECOMMENDED by Merc and that's what I'm comfortable with. But the fact is TCW-3 is required to keep your warrantee.

Academy in Tyler doesn't sell Yamalube anymore. Well, either that or they have been out for months, which wouldn't be surprising considering the way they restock everything else in the fishing section.

I've never used anything but Yamalube and I won't. Maybe I am overpaying, but I'm still going to buy and use it.

Nautical mile marine sells it at a good price

I have been to 3 different Academy's and they don't have , must have quit carrying it ,Roundrock , Temple, and Victoria. I went to Temple Marine and bought it bulk and it was cheaper, but bring your own containers.

Bought quick silver premium plus at Academy but they don't have it any more.

Yea acadamy in hurst has been out watagua showed 2
Few weeks ago went there they had none was told their supplier was out.
Anyway found some at diamond sports marine in bulk great price.

Thanks for the
Responses

i also have been unable to find any yamalube and ended up trying the Luca Oil brand partial sunthetic. I have some trust in Lucas and so far i have noticed a slightly better idle in my 225 yami. Jury is still out tho,

Quick Silver TCW3

Quicksilver Premium plus

I run Yamalube because I'm scared if I switch my ox66 it will blow. Not that I think the oil is any better just superstitious I guess.

I was told by a skeeter dealer that Academy won't be selling Yamalube , because the dealers were losing the sticky relationship with the customers. Not sure if that's true. The Waco academy does t carry it anymore.

The Boat Center on Lake Palestine sells Yamalube in bulk. You just have to bring your own jug. I really like the guys down there, but I live east of Chapel Hill and it seems kind of crazy that I live just outside the biggest city in East Texas...in the heart of lake country...but have to drive almost an hour to buy the oil recommended for one of the big two motor brands.

9th yr on Yamaha 225, penzoil pp no problems, merc n Yamaha don't own any refineries?

No. Actually there is only a handful of motor oil producers. They just manufacture the oil to different companies specs. A lot of your "snake oil" companies just add modifiers to make there oil special.

Last 8 years in my HPDI.

TC-W3 is a trademark owned by NMMA. Before any Oil Mfg can put the TC-W3 info on their oil, it has to be tested by NMMA.
You can find the info at this link. There is a complete list of the manufacturers that have passed the testing for 2015.

"Once lubricants have demonstrated the necessary lubrication performance qualities needed for TC-W3® certification testing by NMMA-approved laboratories, NMMA licenses those two-stroke lubricants to be marketed to the public. TC-W3® oils are licensed around the world and are recommended for use by two-stroke engine manufacturers."
