That is the same words I got from the Yamaha teck rep. - Yamaha 4 for
the first 5000 miles then go to the syn. oil. Well the P-51 is back
in the hands of Rio Yamaha today. Like I was saying it droped from
4 quarts of oil every 2000 miles with syn. oil to one quart every
2000 miles with the Yamaha 4. I will let you know what he says later
next week.
