Welcome to the ATV Connection forums. You will find this site quite interesting [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]


I am no expert on the Banshee but a safe bet would be a mixture of 32 to 1 or 16oz/2 cycle oil to 4 gallons of fuel/ 93

Welcome you'll enjoy these forums. As far as your oil ? Iwould say it would use engine oil but I am not real familiar with Banshee's but there are plenty of Banshee riders on this site.

I recommend using whatever oil you like to use in your truck. It's easier to keep track of what you have when you use the same oil in everything. I am very partial to Rotella 15W40. I use it in everything from my tractors, to my trucks, to my 686 and my friends banshee. No problems and always comes out looking good.

And welcome to the forums. Don't be shy because you can bet these guys won't be.
