Yamaha Motor Corp's 2016 Yamalube Catalog Catalog










High Deposit Level
High levels of phosphorus have been shown to damage oxygen sensors and poison catalytic converters. Yamalube formulas feature up to 600 fewer parts per million (ppm) of phosphorus than some competitors and are 400 ppm lower than JASO MA maximum. Yamaha is committed to a cleaner environment. Our Yamalube oils meet or exceed industry environmental standards—containing low levels of phosphorus. *Marine and watercraft oils are not JASO-Certified.
JASO-Certified Yamalube oil formulations include full-synthetic, semi-synthetic, and performance all purpose*. Yamalube oils are formulated to meet or exceed industry standards with some of the lowest levels of sulphated ash and phosphorus content on the market. That means less build-up, corrosion and wear and tear on your engine—keeping maintenance and ownership costs low and consumer satisfaction high.
Low Deposit Level
Sulphated ash deposits shorten engine life and foul spark plugs. Yamalube formulas use high quality, advanced additive packages that minimize ash deposits. As a result, our sulphated ash levels are far below those of our competitors and the JASO MA maximum.

All Purpose Oil Low Oil Volatility:
Cleaner Engine Better Acceleration Smoother Shifting Gear Protection No Clutch Slippage
What is Volatility? Motorcycles, especially competition bikes, run at high rpm and high temperatures. The last thing you need is oil evaporation endangering the performance and life of your engine. For critical protection at high temperatures, choose a low-volatility oil. Volatility refers to an oil’s propensity for evaporation at high temperatures. The lower an oil’s volatility, the less it evaporates and the better protection it provides.
Yamalube 5W-30 and 10W-40 have far and away the lowest oil volatility and highest quality base oils on the market. What does this mean for a rider? It means reduced oil consumption between oil changes, lower emissions and enhanced fuel efficiency. These Yamalube formulations are well below the JASO maximums; they also leave our competitors in the dust.
