WIX oil filter

[jeffT]

does anyone know what wix or napa filter is used on the 1049cc yami motor? Also. what weight synthetic oil works good. I'm due for a change and just getting some input before doing so. thanks.

I run a wix filter,I use 0W-40 Mobile 1. I have 560 miles on this year and not one problem to speak of.

wix 51358. Standard yamaha filter for all ATV's. Holds more oil and filtering capacity.

Thanks guys. What about oil? what viscosity? pure synthetic? what brand (altho it probably doesnt matter a whole lot)

Amsoil and Mobil 1 are a couple of the popular ones. I've had good luck with Mobil 1 0w-30 and this year went with 5w-30 because it was available. You can buy a 5 quart jug at Walmart for around $25.

How many quarts does the nytro hold?

used the wix filter and royal purple oil, good thing I did do it. I found an oil leak coming from the front side of the engine. It is in the shop now. thanks for the help

Oil Change

I am at 450 miles on my new xtx, manual says to change it at 500 for the first oil change.

I probably only have about 300 miles of riding left this year.

1 - Change it now and not at the end of the season
2 - Change it now and again at the end of the season
3 - Wait until end of the season

I am not leaning towards 3, just cannot decide between 1 & 2.

THANKS

I am in the same boat as you, I am changing now and then waiting till next season. I only have one more weekend of riding left. I do the same principle with my bike. Go #1 but I'm sure others will have their own opinion
