I have been using Yamalube 20W40 in my 07 Venture. I know there are other options but I decided I would use it a least for the first few years in case I had any warranty issues. I went to the yamaha dealer the other day to pick up a gallon of oil for my next change. Apparently 20W40 is not available anymore. They now have 20W50 instead. I asked why they changed. Dealer was not sure. Anyways I have a few questions that I was hoping some of our members could comment on. 1) Does anyone know why they changed? 2) I have 2 litres of 20W40 left over. Can I mix it with the 20W50 on the next change? Thanks Jim

hey guys if you are alright useing base oil in your bike. dennis kirk has the bardahl premium motorcycle engine oil in 20w50 for $2.70 a liter on clearance. i have used this oil for the past two oil changes. i'm sure it is as good as the yamalube. and 20w50 is the new recommended oil weight by yamaha. they have done away with 20w40 for 2008. and replaced it with 20w50. checked with bardahl and the oil does meet the new jaso ma rateing. just thought i would let you guys know. tired of paying that six to twelve dollars a quart.

I'm not finding anything putting "oil" in the search box, so here goes. What do you guys recommend? The owners manual says 20W40 and I can't find it anywhere. the closest I can find is 20W50 and I'm not sure if there is a significant difference or not. I really don't want to spend the money on the dealer brand.
