where else could i buy it or what other synthetic oil can i use other than the bombardier stuff that is 11 dollars a quart? walmart has mobil1 valvoline and castrol and pennzoil synthetic but im not sure which to get any suggestions? someone posted they have atv oil at walmart but me and the guy working there couldnt find any on any shelf, please help thanks

 

Try a different walmart. I have three walmart super centers in my area and only one stocks the rotella synthetic in the gallon size.

 

I agree, try a different Wally World, They stock it in my area too.

 

I was thinking of buying that oil at Wal-Mart myself, but the Wal Mart near me only had 5w30 or something like that - I didn't like the idea of watery thin oil so I didn't buy any. I did end up buying this oil since it is similarly priced and made just for ATVs - only partial synthetic though:

Bel Ray Thumper Racing at RMATV

the oil I used to use Maxima Super M is fully dino oil so I figured the Bel Ray was a bit of an upgrade. A synthetic of the same weight as a dino oil is usually a bit thinner, so I figured the 20w50 partial synthetic should be closer to the 10w40 if I was to run dino oil. The Super M i was running (20w50) worked very well though, you can buy that for a little cheaper than the Bel Ray even.

 

Redline racing oil.
Not the cheapest but it is the best.

 

I was told that you are not supposed to run synthetic oil in your DS...

 

Why not?

 

I thought that I read in my owners manual for my DS that you are not supposed to use synthetic..

 

then why is the new bombardier oil synthetic and 11 bucks a quart?????????

 

You can use synthetic, but it has to be rated to work with a wet clutch. If you use synthetic without the wet clutch rating it will slip. I don't know the specific rating but I read it here on an older post.
