Atv oil

[32drawlength]

I have an Arctic Cat 400 & have used their synthetic oil & filter in the past but switched to Mobile 1 synthetic 0-40 a few years back.

I’m not seeing the 0-40 on the shelf anymore, what other options do you guys use?
Can 0-20 be used instead?

TIA

My local shop used to sell amsoil 0-40. That is what they sold me for my polaris, they said it was the most affordable that they could find.

I use Vavoline 10W40 ATV oil in all my machines unless owners manual specifies differently. I have used it in our arctic cat 400 and it works fine. They sell it at walmart I want to say it is around $4.50/quart. Most motorcycle oils will work just fine as well.

I use Lubrication Engineering oil in mine 8854; it's a 5w50 but not real easy to get your hands on. I buy it in bulk so the price isn't too bad.

Amsoil makes a good oil.

If it makes you feel any better, I run amsoil in the trans but T6 rotella 5w-50 in the motor. This is on a mule pro fxt, 2 years strong.

I use Valvoline 20/50 full syn. from Wal-Mart in my cat.

You only need to use ATV oil if the machine has a wet clutch. If the machine had a separate transmission Mobil-1 is hard to beat.

I’m assuming you are referring to JASO certified oil? T6 from Rotella checks that box, don’t buy in to the “only atv oil” garbage, Polaris is the worse pushing their over priced lubetech oils.

I’m referring to the friction modifiers that are added to regular and synthetic oils. These can cause wet clutches to slip in the basket and burn it up. I used to race a wet clutch (420 Rancher) and an Open class bike (840 Outty Max). When you race you go through tons of lube, stress the system and find out the hard way sometimes about what works best and what’s best for the machine. There are a variety of wet clutch oils out there, I ran the Valvoline from Autozone in mine. I never believed in over paying for rebranded OEM recommended lubes.

JASO certified oils is for wet clutches, why I run T6 rotella 5w-40 oil.
