Your good. 5w is better then 10w in cold weather starts ups.

I like 0w-40 its good in the coldest start up days or hottest summer days ,but it only comes in more exspensive full synthetic.

Engine holds 2.1 qts..This atv is different from motorcross now..Sealed bearings in wheels.. no need to service bearings....The 4wd models have cv axle boots can repack if like but not recommend unless replacing cv boot....Ride and enjoy.....

Make sure the engine oil is designed for wet clutch, meaning it should not have any friction reducing additive
