Suzuki Oil Changes


Recommended Posts

I want to know if anyone is using a different 4 stroke oil than the Suzuki oil for Suzuki 4 stroke oil changes? The owners manual is saying to use 10w - 40 Suzuki oil. But, the local dealers are completely out of stock. There is one dealer that wants 8.50 a quart. I need 17 qts. Compared to a Mobil one oil (20w/50) that is 4.50 at Wally world.

Or I have been looking at Mercury 4 stroke oil semi syn (20w/50). Has anyone been using this oil for there Suzuki's?

Thank you in advance.

You don't have to buy there oil, you just have to buy the right type of oil. Like I run a Honda 3.5lt V6 , the same one that's in their cars BUT I can't use the same spark plugs kind of the same reason we don't use the same oil. We run our motors in the worlds largest radiator [ These motors run a lot cooler than a Car/Truck motor]

Me personally, my motor cost 18K and until it's out of warrentee , I'll run their oil. I run a 60K boat , if I can't afford a 60 dollar oil change then I guess I need to sell the boat.

FYI, the synthetic oil for my motor costs $2.00 a quart more the my oil with Honda's name in it .
