Default Honda HP-4S oil or Mobil 1 Racing 4t Oil

Looking for more opinions on which oil to use in my 2013 Honda rubicon 500


I have been using the Honda GN4 in it, but looking to switch to synthetic oil for obvious reasons,


I heard some good stuff about the mobil 1 Racing 4T oil
and also about the Honda HP-4S


Any help would be great thanks

Yer not racin your Rubicon so why the need for a racin oil? In all my atv's and utv's once they are broke in...I use Walley world synthetic oil, exceeds all manufacturers recommendations for motor oil in all temp ranges. Their diff lube is also GL-5 rated. Wally World may be cheap in a lot of areas but their lubricants are second to none and at a decent price as well.

Rotella T6. Thats all you need. I've compared it to expensive motorcycle oil, Mobil One, etc. Way less wear metals. Blackstone labs. Hers a report on my Arctic Cat 500 running a race cam and other mods. Suzuki motor, 8,500 rpm red line! The 7,508 mi change was T6 , THE 7,000 mi change= Mobil One, the 6,000 mile change was Maxxima racing oil.

I like the Rotella, but just use the Dino version...I change frequently enough that it doesn't call for synthetic

I use rotella t6 as well. After using in in my diesel and noticing a big difference especially winter operation i switched instantly. In my ac 500 with lots of hard riding on it have had 0 issues. Oil is cheap engines are not..
