correct, 02Vinson [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] ... Synthetic oil is way to slick for the initial breakin and it is not suggested to be used until about 500 miles are put on your motor. As far as the warranty issue with motorcycle oil or atv oil , That is what the dealer told me when i purchased my latest ATV. (vinson) why bother using car oil when Suzuki oil is only $2.50 a quart. As soon as i hit around the 500 -600 mile mark i will switch over to amsoil.

I heard somewhere that the new Polaris machines come with Polaris Synthetic oil in them also. There is quite a bit of debate surrounding the "break in" for new motors. I am not totally sold on synthetic oil in anything with a wet clutch. Too much slip is not a good thing. There are a million guys that use synthetic in wet clutched machines with no problems though. I use the cheap Mobil natural dino oil, no problems at all and I have A LOT of miles on the Z.

MnTurboPaws, If you want to use synthetic oil for your breakin period go right ahead....I really dont think anyone cares.It's you choice. this is what forums are for ,opinions. Just like snowdog said , there is much debate about this whole subject.

I have another question. I was planning on doing my own maintenance. If I use a Fram filter and quality automobile oil for my oil changes, will this void my warrantee? The OEM filters are quite expensive at the dealer ($15). Is there a website that sells OEM filters? Any info appreciated, thanks!!!

at the dealership here they said if you use anything other than suzuki oil and filter, it will void the warranty. after my 6 mo. is up, i am going to try to find castrol oil for 4 wheelers. a guy at work said he bought some a while back. i plan on changing mine every 1000 miles or six months.
