I have a 01 honda Forman 450 ES and i need to no what type oill I sould use Synthetic or not and also What weight Oill to use

 

Amsoil.

 

Synthetic is fine. Just dont use an automotive oil. Use one made for ATVs or you may have clutch problems.

 

Amsoil has an oil specifically for ATVs and Motorcycles, you will see it on the www.amsoil.com website

 

Some good basic oil info: http://www.thumperfaq.com/oil.htm

Some basic synthetic oil info. (Just for the record, Amsoil and Mobil 1 are group IV PAO, and Rotella is a group III synthetic.): http://www.maximausa.com/technical/l...beNews2002.pdf

As far as synthetics go, they have many properties that make them superior to petroleum, so you are ahead running a synthetic. And, the Ester Synthetics are superior to the other two types of synthetics, so my choice after much study on the matter is Maxima Extra (http://www.maximausa.com/products/4s...synthextra.asp). The only downside to synthetics is a somewhat higher price.

Whatever oil type you choose, be sure it is Motorcycle Specific API SG/JASO MA. This will insure that it has a descent add pack to protect high pressure areas, like your transmission gears and cam.

In Texas I would run 20 or 15W50 in the hot summer months, and 10W40 in the relatively mild winter months. If I lived further north where it is cooler, I would run 10W40 in summer and 5W30 in winter.
