Just bought a new to me, very low hour (63 total hours) boat with a 2003 Yamaha 90HP 2 stroke. Can I just use any TCW3 oil, or does it call for something else?
I looked around and Yamaha branded lube seems to be hard to find and/or expensive. Wal-Mart here has two conventional and synthetic blend Evinrude oils. Is that an acceptable oil, or should I really try and find Yamaha lube? Wal-Mart also has Pennzoil syn blend TCW3 oil for a fair price.
Conventional, synthetic blend, synthetic, does it matter?
What other maintenance items should I look at for this low use engine? I've heard the lower unit oil should be changed and perhaps inspect and change the rubber water impeller? Thanks.
