Go with what the book says. How much oil are you talking about?

You can use the other viscosity oil but it might not provide the proper lubrication - would hate to blow a motor because i would not spend another 10.00 for the proper oil.

How do you like your 4-stroke Susuki? How long have you had it? Is it under warranty. As you can see in my post that we just bought a set of Suzuki's. I'm a Yamaha fanatic but we couldn't pass up the deal we found and I know nothing about them. I was talking to the Suzuki dealer and he said the same thing that Yamaha says about their motors. If it is under warranty USE SUZUKI brand oil and filters. It avoids a lot of headaches if you have issues later on down the road. It only cost $4 more to use Yamalube in my Yamaha's and they never question anything concerning warranty's.
