hi yes looking still to switch oil for ,polris ranger 900XP would valvoline synpower full synthetic 5w40 work ?? or not ,,THANKS for the help snooky 1960

 

A good quality name brand synthetic oil within the manufacturers range can be used in almost all engines that have a cv clutch system which most all the larger machines are using now. For a wet clutch machine,no because of the friction modifiers that can cause clutch slippage. Oil brand preference is a personal choice. Just like noses everyone has one..

 

hi ole polaris tech, Thank you for the information ,, it is a 2013 polaris ranger 900XP, so it should not be a wet clutch ? im almost sure its not ,, but ,?? ,,,hope to chat again Thanks,,,,,,,,,Mike

 

Has the cvt clutches.

 

No it doesn't have a wet clutch, yes the synthetic valvoline is ok to run.

 

Thank you very much for the info ,,,,Yes last eve i guess i was not thinking ,,before you answered ( i thought dur ya dumby yes its not wet ) Thanks again,,,,,,Mike ,,, Chat later

 

I had a cousin who was a race car mechanic and whose opinion I valued. He swore by Valvoline oil and that was the old non-synthetic kind. If the regular oil was that good back in the day, then today's synthetic oil should be great. I think any brand of full synthetic oil of an appropriate grade would be good.

 

hey, Thanks for the info. about your cousin ,and about the oil tip ,,,,Thanks ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,MIKE

 

You're welcome Mike. I never have all the facts, but I have plenty of opinions. My older brother used to have a model car about a foot long called COLOR ME GONE. My cousin had the actual driver's side door hanging in his garage. There are lots of pictures online if you want to see the real car. Here's a model.

My cousin also worked on the Dodge Little Red Wagon drag racing truck. It was a Cab Over Engine (COE) A100 pickup. It was the fastest truck in the world at the time, and first truck to do wheelies. It was in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1977 for doing a 4230' wheelie, over 8/10 of a mile by my calculation. The floor was cut out so the driver could see through it to drive. Since the front wheels were up in the air, it had 2 separate rear brakes to steer with. I remember seeing it in a filmstrip in elementary school, back when filmstrips were a real thing but VCRs weren't.

Any 5W40 will be fine. I have run Rotella T6 5W40 since my first change, not one issue.
