So I went to TV golf cart LSL. Asked to purchase a quart of 10W-40 yamalube oil. They told me they didn't sell 10W40, just the 30. I said, but we will be in the mid 90s the whole summer. The Manuel says to use 10W40 in these temperatures. They had no answer for me other than, we only sell 10W30. So the oil changes they do, break down after 70 degrees. Tell me how how many engines get ruined by this practice. I'm going to buy the 10W40 for my oil change and do it myself.

I certainly didn't know this so thanks for the info. Question, does the engine have a plug at the bottom to drain the old oil? When I had my oil changed(the first time since I bought it), the guy used a suction pump thru the oil cap on top of the motor. I need a change as well but I'm being told I don't need it at 2,000 miles after the first change. Not sure.
