Tommorow or sometime next week I plan on givin my quad an oil change, so what kind of oil do you all recomend? I've been using mobil 1 synthetic 10-30 oil but, I hear I should get one with wet clutch protection. So, should I go with mobil synthetic motorcycle oil or something like that?

 

Iv used alot of oils....I dont like synthetics....But what i use is yamalube 20-40...Never had any probs with it.....

 

Canola or olive

 

yamalube is wat i usualy use... or maxium 4.. or w.e it is...

 

Amsoil 20w40 synthetic at the price of only $.25 more a bottle than yamacrap

 

If you look in your owners manual...itll spell out whats needed. SG or SF oil, in 10w 40 weight. Thats all thats needed.
The SG referrs to oil which does not have moly, and does have the additives for meshing gears. Oil which is newer than SG, has reduced or no additives for gear meshing, and anything with the energy conserving star burst symbol has moly.
Brand means nothing, as long as it meets the minimum requirements...its good to go.
I use the old car oil from Autozone, its SG and 10w 40, and works just fine for 79 cents a bottle.
My 2 cents.

 

I have always used yamalube. No problems so I haven't tried anything else out.

 

that's what i thought.. but damn was i wrong.. lol i thought my quad was fine till i put in that amsoil.. omg it was like a whole new quad again.. everything just ran so PERFECT

 

unless it says WET CLUTCH COMPATIBLE! on the bottle i wouldn't buy it you cheap mother f(_)cker

 

he has a point, oil is pretty much oil i don't think there is much difference between what you buy for .79 a quart or $8.99 a quart, prolly pretty much the same sh%t.
