I don't know anything about the yamaha oil but seadoo recommends low ash API-TC. You shouldn't useTCW-3. Seadoos own brand is fully synthetic. There are other brands that meet the requirements, I personally use Quicksilver. I find it at walmart on the automotive oil isle. Not with the boat stuff. But whatever brand you go with make sure it says on the bottle it is approved for use in your seadoo watercraft.
