which oil should i use for my 2001 400EX??? 10w-30? what?? its right around 20 hours now and i need a new oil filter and oil.... should i just call down my dealer for a 400EX oil filter?? or is there a special size?? any helo would be appreiciated , thanx!

01 400EX Yellow ( not recalled =P)

 

I'd go with Mobil 1 10-30 oil because it's synthetic and you get a little more clutch life because of it. As far as the oil filter goes just drop on by your honda dealer and they'll have one in stock. Good luck, Dave

'95 Honda Foreman 400 UNI Air filter, Suppertrap IDS2 silencer, Moose Plow
'83 Honda CR125R Wiesco piston, IMS crank, 36mm kehin carb, DG exhaust, Renthal bars, braided cables, EBC brakes, PBR sprokets, D.I.D. chain and lots of other goodies

 

Don't use a synthetic that has moly in it for it will make your clutch slip on the 400EX, so I am told. I use Castrol GTX 20-50 in the Summer and 10-40 when it gets colder. EX's run hot, therefore I change my oil every 8-10 hours, even then the oil starts to turn brown.

 

use honda pro oil they have the oil and filters on stock up at matto cycle ed

 

alright guys, thanx a lot for yyour help.... ill check down mattos this weekend paul.... thanx... howq much are oil filtwers and oil?

 

i dotn know the exact price but it wasnt much.

 

As far as the filter goes it shouldnt cost any more then 4.50 i'd imagine. Oil price depends on what kind of oil you use. I've never heard of the synthetic making the clutch slip but then again i dont own a 400EX so i could be mistaken. If 10-30 is too thin for you liking i'd reccomend 15-30 thats all around good oil.

 

thanx agian guys =)
