Default Synthetic oil change

Just needing some input on how long between oil changes with synthetic (miles and hours). I have a 05 KingQuad and put all synthetic oil in after break in Put it in the engine and front and rear differentials.

Thanks!

I'm running synthetics in my Eiger I change it in the motor once a year, it depends on how much you ride, i can tell when i need to change it because it will shift with a louder clunk...but the King's an auto so...depending on how much you ride, 1-2 times a year

That is what I was thinking twice a year. I check it yesterday and it is starting to look a little dirty. I've put 900 miles since the last oil change. And that was in april. So it is about time.

Thanks for the reply!!

yeah i'd say without the clutch contaminating the oil you could go 850-1050 miles...how you like the King so far

It is an awesome machine. I looked around before I bought one. And I defiantly made the right choice. A lot of my friends have ArticCat 500’s. I let them ride my KingQuad and they fall in love with it. Not just because of the power. It has a more center balance. They have a lot of trouble going up steep inclines. I have also let a couple of them try it and they agree it is much more stable going up an incline, and it has a much smoother ride also they say. The ArtiCats also cost the same as my king. SO I AM A HAPPY CAMPER!
