Look it up in the manual it says use only 10w-30 none synthetic motor oil.
there are also some bottles out there that say "dont turn upside down" on the bottom. What the manufacturer says isnt always right...
I think that yamaha would know their own quad best so i would use what they tell you to use. ( 10w-30 )

Yamaha probably does know better than anybody what oil to use in their quads if their stock and rode in average conditions. But if you modified your ATV, race, or ride in temperature extremes you may want to look into a specialized lubricant. Make sure you don't use a automotive type oil with friction modifiers.

[QUOTE=Storj;2111190]Use only 10w-30 none synthetic motor because that is also the lube for the clutch and if you use something other than that you could burn up your clutch.[/QUOTE

Non Synthetic 10 W 30 is what’s recommended
