I went to my yamaha dealer and bought oil and filters for my grizzley and bruin. The bill was over $50. Can I use regular oil off the shelves for my wheelers?

 

nto ne only it hasta be a certain rating becuz it cant have lead in it or sumthing its a lil different look in your owner manual and it should tell u exactly wat it can have and cant have in the oil

 

I didn't find the oil to be expensive. but I did raise an eye brow to the $13 filter. I got my oil for $5 a liter.
I'm going to try to keep it all yamaha and do it all by the book, this is the first atv I've ever had so i'm pretty fussy about it.

 

To each their own, but anyone who buys his/her oil & filter from the "STEALER" is totally wasting money. I did this twice.. the first & the last times in one trip. Paying 2,3,4 times the amount for a brand of oil & filter that someone else makes for yamaha,polaris,honda,suzuki,etc... is foolish. The only oil I buy from the stealer is my snowmobile injector oil. The 4 stroke oil for my quad I use is Mobil-1 synthetic $2.50/qt & a fram filter $3.50. $8.50-$9.00 for an oil change, vs $25 for oil & filter from dealer...err I mean STEALER. Just my take on things.

These are also my first four-wheelers so I also followed the book. I just thought that $50 was a lot for oil and filters.

 

Thanks for the link, I did not know there was that much differences in oil. But in the link Yamaha says to change oil every 5 rides. Isn't that a little excessive?

 

well it depends on how long the rides are i guess.also you can pick up a magnetic oil plug for your quad for some extra protection.

ebay

check this auction out its for a banshee but just email him i bet he has one for your application also.

good luck

 

Keeping it changed more important than brand.Here is a oil website http://www.performanceoiltechnology....cycle_oil.html

 

Thanks for the info. I read my manual and it stated that to change oil every 150 hours after the first oil change.
