will any 10w40 oil do. I run synthetics in all my other toys...any suggestions here.

also, I like wix filters but need a number to cross reference to. I just bought this quad a couple of weeks ago.

thanks!

 

As far as oil goes just make sure the oil is "wet clutch" safe. I know others use Amsoil and the like. I just prefer to buy the AC oil and filter in the kit. Cost about $30 for a gallon of AC syntetic (0w40 I believe) and a filter. The same kit is sold for an AC 375, 400, and 500. So I assume they will all use the same filter.

I came across the following list of filter numbers some place for Suzuki 400, 500 engines. Which is what is used in AC 400's and 500's. I know the NAPA one is good as my brother uses it on his Suzuki Eiger.

NAPA 1359
FRAM 6018
Purolator 16818
WIX 51359
STP SMO-18

Hope this helps.

Just be sure you don't use the Fram filter, for that matter don't use it in any one of your other cars either.

But yes, for oil get the wet clutch.

 

Thanks for the replies. I NEVER use Fram filters. IMO, they're total junk! I run wix, typically or Donaldson.

 

I had a 98 500 4X4 Manual that I put over 4,000 miles on before I sold it to a good friend and I always used Penzoil 10w40. Penzoil 10-40 is not "Energy Conserving" so it does not have Moly which makes it safe for wet clutches. I used NAPA 1359 filters that are made by Wix. I changed the oil every 300 miles like the owners manual suggested.
The 400 takes the same filter as the 500 in 98.
