Does anyone use Yamaha's Motor oil or Ring Free additives?


TSCTSC

Question

[Please read forum policy]

Has anyone tried Yamaha's stuff? And is the Yamalube better that Amsoil Synthetic?

Thanks

I use the Yamaha Ring Free product in my 115 4-S. My cousin is the service mgr. at a marine dealership and he recommended it to me. Coming from my relative I feel its a beneficial product moreso than if I heard it as customer at any dealership. It is easy to add each time you fuel the boat. cool.gif

Yamaha ring free is a great thing. The shock treatment is for extra dirty deposits in your engine. I run Ringfree all year in my 150Vmax. I also use Yamalube and I noticed that it smoked less than standard oils. I would recommend Ring Free to anyone. Good Luck

Do you put ring free in every time you fill up or just a couple times a year. I;ve heard different stories. I've also noticed that yamalube smokes less.

I ran Yamaha products in my old boat but now run Amsoil. The guy who had my boat before me ran Amsoil in it. Both are great products with Amsoil being a bit more money. It seems Amsoil gives me better cold morning starts and burns clean. Other than that both seem to perform very well. You cant go wrong with either.

I always figured if I bought a Yamaha I would run all their stuff in it. Now that my new boat was already running Amsoil I had no choice but Im happy with the performance with it. People I talk to that are running Amsoil say nothing but good things. Then again I havent heard any bad about the Yamalube. Either way you wont go wrong.

Everytime I put gas in the boat it has the appropriate amount of ring-free and stabil in it.

Do you guys know that the Yamalube is a semisynthetic oil whereas the Amsoil is full synthetic. If people feel that both are very comparable in terms of performance, then it says alot about the Yamalube.

BTW, I have about half a tank of Valvoline in the oil injection tank of my Yamaha. How do I get rid of it besides running it? I have not been able to find anything that can suck that stuff out from Fleetfarm.

Thanks

I think where the Amsoil will help out most is on long term wear and tear on your motor. I didnt notice any jaw dropping difference in performance with my Amsoil but Im hoping it will keep my motor running like new for many many years. Like was said earlier they are both good products.

TSCTSC can you just disconect the hose at the bottom of your oil resevoir? Thats how I did my old 25 horse Yamaha oil injected. Just had to loosen up the hose clamp and pop off the line. I then drained it into a old coffee can that I pushed the sides in on.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
