hey i am getting ready to change the oil in my arctic cat 300 and was wondering what kind of oil do you guys use?? also what kind of filter?can i get this at any auto store or do i have to get it from the dealer? Thanks

I use the synthetic oil kit that AC sells. It isn't cheap - $28 for oil and filter - but you don't change oil that often, and these small engines are especially sensitive to dirty or cheap oil.

 

Ya same, i just use the cat 10/40. next change will be the cat 0/40.

 

Ok this might be a stupid question ,when do I change my oil ? I only have 26 miles on it now, do I change it "my first time" at 100 miles ? and when is it recommended after that ?

Thanks Jwoodsman

 

i changed mine after the first 100, just follow the owners manual and you should not have a problem.

P.S. the filter is a pain in the a** to get off the first time! I had to borrow a huge crescent wrench from my dealer to get it off. The dealer said that they put them on dry, have fun!
