They told me at local yamaha service if they dont use yamalube the warranty will be canceled (obviously no one can figure it out but it's the "deal"). He also mentioned that yamalube is same like any quality oil for example castrol but only carry different name. Someone correct if im wrong or actually if the service guy is wrong.

Here is a great article about Motorcycle oil
The Truth About Motorcycle Oils
It take a couple of minutes to read but breaks down everything you will need to know about oil for your bike

Thanks dude.
The other day, I noticed the oil level was below the marker, so I called my dealer and he advised the oil was semi synthetic 10w40 and putoline make. I asked why they don't use yamalube and they said you don't have to for warranty and it's better oil anyway.
I'm not sold and going to drop it out and put castrol power in.

Any brand full synth 4-stroke motorcycle 10w40 oil with JASO:MA2 / API:S_ specification will do. Shop for price. Cheapest full synth is always better than any half ass blend of mineral and synth. Other temp range than 10w40 if you intend to ride in unusual cold or hot climate.

You can mix and match any full or semi synth oil (proper spec above) from any brand. Engine is happy as long as has oil and Yama warranty is valid no matter what brand.
Well i read it.
But there is no name and any title about who wrote this article?
So how can i trust this guy? Is he an engineer? Technician?

My local bike engineers use Putoline and put this in come service time. Sport 4 is the recommended spec and decent stuff!

I expect that Yamalube is perfectly OK - it'll only be a repackaged oil from one of the major manufacturers anyway. But no one around here stocks it - not even the Yamaha dealer!
My local dealer stocks Mobil oils and apparently used Mobil 1 at the first service.
I don't know if I'll carry on using that or revert to my usual Motul 5100 once the warranty's up.
