Gear Oil for Predator 90
As a suggestion.... If your Predator 90 is under warranty, I would use the recommended oils / grease within their manual. If I remember correctly, they recommend Polaris Premium or Premium Gold Injection Oil, 70/80 gear oil, etc. The exact oil and amounts are in the manual. If something breaks on your unit, then "they" can't blame you for using a low grade lubrication product.
After your warranty is over, then use different oils. For me, I stay away from the TCW3 rated Injection & Mix oils. I've read this oil lacks ash and in the long run, it "may" cause engine damage. I use foam "off road" spray on chain oil. Haven't had the opportunity to change the grease case oil but when I do, I'll probably use the brand that's recommended in the Pred-90 manual. For grease (front A-Arms and other areas), I use Axle rated grease. I find this grease doesn't wash away as fast as general purpose grease. If wondering, we do lots of deep mud and water riding. Our unit's front hubs, A-Arms and chain are always being squirted or injected with lots of lubrication. As they say, the more mud / water riding you do, the more "often" you apply lubricants (compared to its manual's recommendations).
Hope this helps...
