What type of oil do I put in the lower unit of my 86 tecate? Regular 4 stroke motor oil?

I run 10W-30 in my 2 strokes, but I live in colorado, in the summer I run Chevron HDAX low ash 15W40 due to the heat. It depends on where ya live. For LA, 10W40 or possibly 20W50. IMO

Yamaha brand (Trans Oil Plus) in my Tecate! I change it often....or should I say after riding it hard, comes out as new as I put it in! Can't go wrong!
