synthetic vs conventional oil in Yamaha SHO 200? - 02/02/21 02:07 PM
I have my first big 4 stroke, 2015 Yamaha 200 SHO, on our tritoon. Getting ready to do the 100 hour service soon (first owner did not use it much). I have always had 2 strokes...
I use synthetic oil in most of my vehicles. But was just wondering if there is anything special about outboards that make it better one way or the other... synthetic vs. conventional oil? Also, which oil do most prefer?
I know this will be a lot of personal choice and opinions, but I appreciate that. Really looking for engineering facts also, if there is a true reason one way or the other.
Thanks in advance all!
