Where is the cheapest place to get yamaha oil

Hi Guys,

Wheres the cheapest place to get yamalube tcw3 oil?

I bought 2x5 L Oil for £25 each... Im sure I paid £20 previously.

I am happy to buy it in bulk... depending on how long it will last?

Thanks

Ben

And why does it have to be Yamaha oil? I didn't think they had their own wells.........

Try Rock Oil - it's great stuff and quite a good price too - especially in 25L drums!!!

Im pretty sure the yamaha warranty states that you have to use the yamaha oil during the warranty period

Hi Ben, Not much use as its way up in scotland but for just for comparissons I get Yamalube Super 2 Stroke oil Locally for £18.95 For 5 litres for Mcgregor Industrial Supplies. But I guess everything oil related will go up the way things are going

Im sure they can't but... I blew a conrod last year, and the first thing Yamaha asked the agents to look for was issues with the oiling... so ideally I want to keep using the right oil incase something happens again

In Europe they shouldn't be speccing their own brand only - I am sure somewhere it willl say a TCW3 spec oil.
