:s_good: As long as the oil has the JASO MA (motorcycle applications) rating you are good to go. Use the oil of your choice of the proper viscostiy for your climate conditions. You can see what others are using - check the "The Oil Poll" thread.

 

I prefer plain ole Castrol myself.

John Force fan and all that

Oh here we go with an oil thread...

 

Amsoil 0-40W here

 

DIDO and AMSOIL DIFF OIL...

 

Try AMSOIL AFF. You can get it here Mark Stracka - Independent AMSOIL Dealer - Manton, Michigan

 

Amsoil fan here as well it's good to stock up :s_good:

 

I use the Amsoil 0w-40, we use ours mostly year round. We also have a Raptor that runs it we only use in summer that was slightly "abused" and since we went with the 0-40 it's seemed to start running smoother as well! Amsoil it is for me all the way, grease and oil, quads and diesel truck!

what kind of oil filter you use

 

I have been using Royal Purple in my Griz and Kodiak for the last few years. Never a problem and they are not treated nicely! I also use it in my Harley and Ford pickup. Everything seems to run cooler with the Purple.

 

If you study the various test results, you will find that Amsoil outperforms Royal Purple. Amsoil starts with a higher quality base and then uses the best additives available. The facts are the facts. Try it - you'll like it!

 

Thats right Amsoil is the best out there in all tests I sell it and use it in all my vehicles, bikes, GRIZZ and will out perform Mobil 1 and Royal Purple If anyone needs or wants Amsoil PM me

 

Used Mobil One in my equipment for years. You can always find it on sale at Wally World, AutoZone and Pep Boys.

 

Can I go from a full synthetic to a semi synthetic??

 

What do you guys think?

Yes you can switch oils at any time. Any MFG tells you different is just them handing you a line of BS!

Why would you want to go from full synthetic to semi-synthetic? Just curious.

I had Yamalube 15w50 in my 700 and it was running warm. The fan was coming on more often. I switched to Yamalube 5W40.

 

Amsoil 0-40 4 me

 

New 2012 grizzly special edition

Hey guys just got. Brand new grizzly first time owner and 4x4 rider owned dirt bikes my whole life . Just would like some help on how to get this thing the best I can from tires to the motor. Just orders front and rear bumpers drone superatv.com... Help me out with some info on what clutch to get and any thing else I might need .. Thanks

 

Also I was thinking about running royal purple motor oil in it

 

Thanks for the motor oil info.. Amsoil... It is.. Now what kinda clutch and other parts to make my grizzly run it's best... Info is appreciated

 

i run yamalube 5W-40 Semi-Synthetic for 50 hours rotella 5w40 synthetic 50 hours amsoil 10w 40 synthetic for 50 hours and sent to blackstone labs the amsoils didnt stand out front by no means but i will say it did hold its viscosity where the yamalube and rotella droped to 30 the yamalube and rottela was almost identical in every thing else as the amsoil they where a few things a point or two higher but was told it could be from the other oils where run with low hours on motor so for me its not worth the extra money i know what my charts say thats why i use rotella synthetic 5w40 and save alot of money now my motor has 1300 hours on it i may send a sample the next oil change just to see how my oil is holding up since i know its been 100 hours since its been changed

Red Line Synthetic Oil - Motor Oil

This message is sponsored by the campaign for a 2up Grizzly!!!

Red line is another top contender for synthetics i still prefer amsoil IMO its the best but red line is right up there with it. Mobil 1 and royal purple r trash IMO Valvoline is pretty good as well

 

AMSOIL is the oil you want. Mark Stracka - Independent AMSOIL Dealer - Manton, Michigan

 

oil question

thanks,gonna use amsoil...but my grizzly only has 20 miles i just bought it ...im gonna do an oil change at 50miles..should i go wit amsoil break in oil...or just go wit the amsoil atv

 

Royal Purple is good, but AMSOIL is the best!

 

I ran the factory fill in my Grizzly for about 200 miles, then changed to AMSOIL. I think the factory fill is a good break-in oil. In addition, your rings will "seat" sooner with the factory fill.

I subscribe to this as well, do not run synthetic on a machine with less than ~150/200 miles on it.

 

I run amsoil 0-40 also. Seems to be a very good oil
