Oil????
I have always run valvoline atv in my 03. It is designed for wet clutches so it wont slip like some will. The 730 uses klotz which is VERY Spendy but you cant beat the fact it looks like tranny fluid and smells like a mix of race gas and doughnuts when the machine runs [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Ok first of all the dealer is going to say to only run the Bombardier synthetic because it makes them money....they are selling a Bombardier product. I ONLY use synthetic oil in EVERYTHING that I own. Some people have different opinions on synthetics, but I see the test results and viscosity breakdowns for myself. I run the Mobil 1 MX4T. It is a synthetic oil that is made for motorcycle v-twin engines. Now, I have used the Bombardier oil and that is fine too. The Honda GN-4 is fine too, I've used that..........I've probably used every time of synthetic oil out there. Honestly, I think the Bombardier oil is awesome, but my dealer is pretty far away so I don't always use it. I just need to buy a case of it next time I'm there.

I tried syn back years ago and my clutches would slip. One guy said it was the molly in it. I dont think its in most of the syn now. I use Kawasaki 10/40 and it works great. Ive had 4 650s and ive been inside them all at one time or another and no problems. I change my oil often and so price does matter to me. Ive used the Honda, Royal purple for quads and Bomb oil. They are all good oil. I can buy the Kawy from my dealer from a drum and its cheaper that way. I always felt that the most important thing is to check the oila nd change it regularly

Thanks on the input guys. Price is a little bit of a matter for me. And another question for you guys. How often do ya'll change it? I've heard from every 10 hours to every other ride. What's the lowdown. I'm fairly new to riding atv's so I don't really ride the hell out of it yet. Put usually 2-4 hours ride time whenever i get to ride. I've really appreciated all your guys input.
