New to this ATV stuff, need to know the best oil for motor/trans and F/R drives for a 03 AC 400 Auto

Thanks

 

AMSOIL 4 stroke is second to none! I use it in all my toys!

 

Is this reg or syn oil ? I take it 10w40 for motor/Trans and What for diff ?

Thanks

 

amsoil is very good ive used it in my sleds for ever but when i bought my 08 ac 700 i decided i would only run ac brand oil and filter seeing as how its designed by arctic cat exactly for their machines.

 

Most oil is manufactured by just a hand full of places, just put someones label on it and you have different brands (Arctic Cat, Yamalube, etc ). Add something to the mix and you get another app code. So I guess what I need to know is what app codes and weight am I looking for?

Motor/Trans/Clutch

Front/Rear Diff

 

10w40. Change it every 300-500 miles (factory recommended) any brand you want( if it were a 5 speed,then you would need an oil for a wet clutch system. not sure of the code for that). Your choice,synthetic or regular. The differentials get 80w90 hypoid gear oil,again any brand and synthetic or regular is your choice. Change it every 1,000 miles(factory recommended) Along with these another oil you may need is Air filter oil. Clean the air filter with soap and water or use air filter cleaner,and then use air filter oil after its dry. The oil is in a spray can. I personally use arctic cats oils,the kit is easy to store and everything is right there ready for my next oil change. hope this helps.

 

Thanks for the info, gives me a great starting point to keep this thing running

 

ok,rated oils to use in your transmission/engine (for a 700 ac):SE,SF,orSG. you can use 5w 30 as well as 10w40 but 5w30 is for -22 degrees and above. diff lock is SAE approved 80w90 hypoid .
