I ahve a barnett clutch on the way and was told to run synthetic oil what is best



BIGGERISBETTER? WHAT ARE YOU RUNNING
SCOOBY? WHAT ARE YOU RUNNING

ANYONE ELSE RUNNING THE BARNETT WHAT TYPE OIL

 

castrol semi-synthetic 10w-30 and since i changed it hasnt slipped since

 

Try the valvoline dura blend synthetic. 10w-40. Clutch hasent slipped yet and i have the barnett clutchs.

 

Brandon, I have the Barnett carbon fiber clutches and run the Valvoline ATV oil. No problems yet.....but you probably ride 10 times more than me!!!LOL I talked with several people with high-power quads (DS's..of course!) and it seems that the Valvoline and the Hondaline HP4 were favorites. The Hondaline was WAY expensive (about 7.00 a quart) and our "dealer" here in Paris only had 1 quart at the time. I went with the Valvoline. Two dollars and something at Autozone and they keep it stocked![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


Did you put it on them at the river Sunday?

 

I think it was Scooby who tested the Hona HP4 and was very not-impressed with it's results.

 

Everyone thinks I am crazy but I run the factory synthetic oil. I really trust it because I had about 250 hours of very hard use on it before the stock clutch started slipping. I truly believe that if bombardier can build the lear jet they can make a good oil for quads. You can also look at a post from a couple weeks ago and scooby gives some advise on what kind of oil not to run.

klotz 4 stroke

 

Burglett,

Take a look at a Thread Scooby started about oils - he tested Klotz oil and found it to be a very poor performing out as far as viscosity & engine protection. He had to pull the oil out early, and was so suprised by the results he retested and got the same results a second time.

Here is the link, be sure to read the first sentence of his post! If you have additional info you should post some in that thread.

I run Klotz and the end side of my engines look new plus they run cooler. Klotz does have different oils.

I guess I don't make enough power for any one to listen to me. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
