does running synthetic oil affect anything in the Sp500 like the clutch? i just ran regular oil but i looked into the synthetic and its supposed to reduce wear on your engine, sorry this might be a stupid question.

It has a PVT their for the oil has nothing to do with the clutch... What weight oil are you running? If i were you i would run synthetic oil, you do have to run 0w40 that is a must!

Polaris 0W-40 Synthetic oil, Amsoil Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil SAE 0W-40, or Mobil 1 0W-40 European Car formula oil. You should be fine with any of those

I was running the Polaris stuff. Then I put Mobil 1 in for the winter storage cuz it is cheaper and I will dump it in the spring and change to Amsoil.
