Default ATV Oils

I'm curious to know what you all suggest.
I've always used Mobil 1 Fully synthetic oils in all of our autos.
Now that we have ATVs when it comes to oil I'm stumped!
Any suggestions on some Fully synthetic oil for ATVs?
Thanks!

Amsoil 0W-40 that is wet clutch compatible. In everything, I use synthetic. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I use Valvoline 10w-40 in all my air cooled thumpers(Honda's and Jetmoto's). I use Amsoil 10w-40 Motorcycle oil in my KTM.

2 strokes get Torco GP-7 (premix) and BelRay 80wt gear oil in the trannies.

Read this: http://www.maximausa.com/techn...news/LubeNews2002.pdf


There are 3 different synthetic chemistries: Group III (eg. Rotella), Group IV PAO (eg. Mobil 1 and Amsoil), Group V esters (eg. RedLine, some Maxima, some Motul, some Klotz).

I am a chemist by profession, and belive me the esters have all the advantages here!!! The only advantage of group III is price. Group IV is good, but the esters beat them out in several different ways.

So, I have run Maxima Extra ester synthetic in my bikes/quads for years (and RedLine in my trucks). Maxima has the best additive package in the industry!

I am thinking of trying RedLine Motorcycle Oil (which is JASO MB...not MA) in the engine side only of my 450R, and RedLine Motorcycle Gear Oil with Shockproof in the trans.
