For the engine, I use 10w-40 Semi synthetic in all quads. Some say, use only that specified for motorcycles, because of the wet clutches.

I like Shell Rotella 15w-40. Reasonable to buy, can find anywhere and pretty tough oil for air cooled engines. My granddaughter's Panther 110 has a little label that says 15W-40 oil near the dip stick.

Don't you find the prices of semi synthetic to be just a tad bit too close to the price of full synthetic?

I know it's good stuff but I figure for the price, why?
