could someone tell me the ideal engine oil to use on a 2006 tohatsu 40 TLDI?

Re: tohatsu engine oil

Well if you ask Tohatsu, the "ideal" oil is Tohatsu oil...of course . Seriously though, with a TLDI model, you do need to make sure you use an oil that is made for use in a direct injection system. If you use just some cheap oil you'll have problems with the DI. Tohatsu has a list of "approved" oils on their website (under the Tech Info, TLDI FAQ's section).

My dealer insisted that I use nothing but Pennzoil 100% synthetic oil in my 90tldi. I have for 3 seasons with no trouble.

Nothing wrong with the Pennzoil Synthetic. Oil questions on these boards are like a$$holes...everyone has an opinion. Personally, I am running Klotz in my TLDI. It runs extremely clean, smells good, and is a top notch synthetic. I have had previous success with Amsoil and Pennzoil, as well as Nissan/ Tohatsu oil from Cabellas. Running any premium synthetic will work fine. All of the previous noted oils will work great. <br /><br />Of course oil threads are poison...someone will have an opposing view point....

I only use tohatsu, so any problem with oil they can't get out of .<br />Also been told by dealer Di oil for Merc, Evinrude,..... are approved too.

I use Amsoil in my tohatsu, the Tohatsu oil was too smokey for me, combined with a bad local dealer made it an easy choice to go with an "aftermarket" oil. <br /><br />Amsoil is top notch.
