oil for forman rubicon with hondamatic????
#3
I use Shell Rotella 5W-40 synthetic in mine. It's JASO-MA rated as well.
I understand that Honda recommends 10W-30 in these machines and my 07 Rubicon runs just fine with the Shell oil. I use the Shell oil in my son's 09 Recon and my wife's 04 Bruin as well as the grandkids 06 TRX 90. Let's not forget my Yamaha motorcycle!
Most will tell you to run Honda branded oil so......

10W40 for most climates, rated JASO MA and API SG or higher, that does NOT say energy conserving, and nothing with Molly or teflon/ptfe.
Honda's dino oil would be fine, as would their HP without molly.
When I did farm work summers, we ran Rotella 15W40 in everything, including several three wheelers. They ran thousands and thousands of hours. Now that Rotella is rated JASO MA (meaning it is OK for wet clutches, like the Rubicon) I wouldn't have a problem running that, either.
