How often do you change your oil?
The P650 owner's manual says to change the oil every 100 hours/3 months (or earlier if ridden in dusty or muddy conditions), buy my local dealer told me to change it every 25 hours. Its been 25 hours since my last oil change, so I changed my oil today and the old oil did not look very dirty. How often do you change the oil in your quad?
PS - I ride on dusty trails about 40 to 50% of the time, and I always use Bel Ray 20W-50 semi-synthetic oil.

Every 50 hours, and it still looks brand new and not even a hint of dark. At this next 50 hour interval I'm going to send of a sample to be analyzed, and see whats going on. Most likely 75 or 100 hour intervals are ideal on the p650. Other bikes have different setups and are harder on the oil. Since our engine oil isn't shared with the clutch etc, and the engines are liquid cooled, it's not really beaten up too badly. I have Amsoil 4-stroke ATV 0w-40 full synthetic in the engine and front diff. It's smooth as butter.

I just put the same Amsoil in my engine last week. I was going to use regular KawiChem in the front diff but perhaps I should go ahead and use the Amsoil. Has it worked out pretty well? One guy told me synthetics might
leak when used in a diff.
