Default 2001 Trailboss oil change and maintenance

i need to do some maintenance on this bike, mainly the fluids.

What kind of oil should I use for the engine and gear case?

Is there a filter for the gear case or just the engine?

Anywhere I can download a free service manual? Funds are kind of tight

Hey there...

Engine oil - around 2 liters of 0w40SH full synthetic (Mobil 1, Amsoil, Polaris PS4SS) Polaris uses low weight oil like 0w-40 and 2w-50 to get oil to the cam quickly on cold starts. – I put in 15w50 Mobil1 to try and buffet the rod/piston noise that my engine has. The "50" is the important part of the number for high temp. running in the bush.

Trans.(gear case) – 400 ml. of 75 - 80 weight full synthetic chain case oil. ( Polaris AGL, Amsoil chain case lube.) No filter here.

Oil filter at dealer is $13.99 (or Kralinator L358)

I have a Parts manual on a PDF file and can send it to you if I can figure out how to do it. It is very helpful in figuring things out.

Not a typo. 0w40 or 2w50 is correct. Your local auto parts store should carry the mobile-1 full synthetic or get the polaris or amsoil.
