What brand of oil do you use?

[clutch]

I was just curious as to what brand of oil everyone uses. I use Yamalube in the warrior and raptor when I had it, but Castrol in my old 600griz.

i use castrol synthetic in my grizz . i found my grizz likes the castrol better than mobil 1 syntec .

Just wondering, but how do you know when your wheeler likes one kind of oil better than another?

I use Valvoline 15W-50 Durablend Semi. Holds up to the heat well.

Use Yamaha oil

The only bad thing about Yamaha oil is that its not full synthetic (its synthetic blend, last time I checked).
If you just have a liquid-cooled utility quad that you use for working around the yard and trail riding, Id bet that Yamalube would be fine, but if you have a sport quad where the engine works pretty hard or revs up high (YFZ for example) or an air-cooled engine (because they tend to run hot), Id suggest full synthetic.
A couple of my buddies have Honda 450Rs and I recently talked them into switching from the Honda oil (synthetic blend) to Mobil 1 and according to them their quads start easier (they only have kick-start), run better and dont use oil like they used to. They use their quads pretty hard (they use the rev limiter on a daily basis), so for them a synthetic is needed.

in my xt 350 i run 20w50 amsoil. works well in my case
t as i drive it 30 min to work almost all spring summer and fall.


the bear is still too new for synthetic.

 

[vipeboy2000]

what i mean by like is that the oil stays cleaner longer wit castrol than mobil one... and runs smoother with castrol than mobil one.

Thats interesting because its a well-known fact that Castrol Syntec is not a true synthetic oil (its more of a highly, highly refined dino oil).
Ive always been a believer in Castrol and have never had any issues with it, however...

Klotz 10W40 full synthetic!
