I just picked up a 2016 tao tao rhino 250 and not sure what oil to use for it? Are these a dry or wet clutch bikes? Thanks

 

Welcome to the forums.

I believe that's a 4 speed manual, 4 stroke motor. If so, you can use brand of motor oil you prefer. The weight you choose would be up to you and the enviroment you ride in most. 10w30 I believe is what they recommend.

 

Okay so this should be fine? Now i got to find some sprockets and chains to fit this as there missing.

 

Sorry, you do want to get an oil without the friction modifiers. Mind was wondering at the time.

 

I use Shell Rotella in my bikes.

 

With a picture of a UTV and "ATV/UTV oil" on the pakk, it shouldn't have friction modifiers in it.

 

I thought wet clutches needed friction modifiers or regular oil will cause clutch slippage?

 

You can look for the JASO MA2 rating on oil. That is supposed to be safe for a wet clutch system.

I've known people that used regular oil with no problem, and people who used it and had problems.

Rotella is pretty widely used. It's a good oil and it's a lot cheaper than some of the wet clutch designated oils.

 

How many of those have a CVT transmisson? I would think it would be ok, but it would be best to check the rating to be sure.

The modifiers is what will cause the slipping.
