Default Mobil 1 Synthetic in new Yamaha

Do you see any issues with running Mobil 1 in a new Yamaha gas cart? How soon would you change the factory fill? Thanks.

Our recomendation for factory or modified endines is 6 Months forfirst change.
Mobil One is best on oil pressure engins and we do not use it on splash systems such as Yamaha for fear of foaming action.

Frank - What motor oil would you recommend? a synthetic blend, a straight viscosity like a SAE 30, or a multi-viscosity for a new Yamaha gas?

SAE 30 , we worry about foaming with a splash type system in Yamaha.

The Kawasaki engine in the Club Car & Newer EZGO both with filters and oil pumps still only needs SAE 30.

What are your thoughts on Yamalube, a semi-synthetic Base, for a Yamaha.
Worth the extra cost?
