Default Gunk Motor Flush and Oil questions..

I got a 1986 Honda TRX200 that has been siiting for like 12 years unstarted. The past weekend I managed to get it going. But I need to change the oil.

I have a bottle of this stuff called Gunk "Motor Flush" that cleans engines in 5 mins. Is it ok if I run this stuff through the engine...its a 32 ounce bottle, how much of it should I put into the motor?

I also have 2 Quarts of

Chevron Supreme Motor Oil
SAE 10W-40

Formulated with

ISO
SYN

Would this work as motor oil, I dont live within resonable distants of a honda dealer so I cant by there special oil.

Gunk would be fine, just follow the directions to the letter, and don't use as much
as it says with a auto engine. Figure the average auto has 5 quarts in in, and your ATC
no more than 2, you should use about 2/5 of the bottle (12-13 oz). That is if it is the Gunk
made for cars. Drain completely, like for 2-3 hours, also.

I have used kerosene and CD2 in my quads without problems.

It is best not to ride an air cooled engine with a flush in it.

As long as the oil doesn't say "Energy Conserving" or "Friction Modifiers" on it anywhere it will be fine.

Next time, change the oil BEFORE you try to start it!
