I don't own a gas cart. But I would simply call the 800 number for Yamaha and ask for a service expert for an opinion about 10W-30 vs 40 and whether it is ok that the local dealer is using a product other than that suggested by the manual.
1-866-747-4027 Of course they may refuse to answer your question and refer you back to your local dealer. Nah, I'm sure they will give you the answer to your concern.

Using the wrong oil could void your warranty if something goes wrong. Smart thinking. Thanks for the heads up as I will now check my 2010 Yamaha manual.

Your engine is not going to blow up because you have 10/40 vs 10/30. It'll run just fine with either.

Buy an oil vacuum tank at Tractor Supply. It is pumped to create a vacuum in the tank. A tube connected to the tank is insert into the oil indicator hole. The valve is released and the oil is sucked out. The tank holds gallons. Pays for itself in 2 changes.
Most auto parts stores will take the used oil. |

Some new German cars, such as Porsche, specify 0W-40 (synthetic). Many Japanese cars specify 0W-20. For Yamaha golf carts, 0W-30, 5W-30, or 10W-30 are all OK. The second number, essentially the viscosity at operating temperature, is the important number. Buy whatever is on sale and change it according to the owner’s manual recommendation. I tend to buy Mobil-1 (synthetic) because I can get it for about $3 a quart after rebate.
