I will agree I can't find any difference in the API specs at the web site for both oils. Still strange why Valvoline would go to the expenses of two part numbers and two different containers for the same oil?

Also if it is the same, why do you use the motorcycle oil?

Maybe the same oil but just to be safe I will use the Valvoline ATV oil in my ATV. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Cuz motorcycle engines wind faster and make more power than most ATVs...so if the motorcycle oil can take it...It's great for the ATV [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Maybe his shop doesn't sell the ATV stuff. Just throwin some options and opinions out there...

Also, are the ATV and the motorcycle oils the same price? That could be another reason if the ATV stuff is more expensive.

I buy my oil at an auto parts store... not sure, but I think both the Valvoline oils are the same price.

I admit I use both oils because they are the same but I just usually grab the Motorcycle stuff because it's there lol! But I also get it at an Auto Parts store called Checker Auto.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
