The manual for my Honda 4 stroke mower contains the usual advice about oil
(paraphrased here): You can use oil that meets blah-blah-blah specs, but we
recommend Honda oil. When I see stuff like this, I assume they mean "If you
visit the mower shop, you might buy something else so we think you should go
there for oil". I like supporting local businesses, like the one that sold
me the mower, but could there be anything special about Honda oil?

Nothing special about Honda oil. It does make it a little easier to
make sure you are getting the right kind of oil, but you can use the oil
from the auto parts store just as well.

I knew there was something. Maybe I'll buy the oil at the supermarket, where
it's a buck more expensive than at the auto parts store. That should solve
the problem.

>Hi joe,
Yamaha does the same with all their toys such as waverunners and quads
etc. They always come out with a line stating something to the affect like
this "for best performance and reliability, always use Yamaha products for
your engine" It's a ploy to take more money out of you....Jim
