Maxima or Honda HP or any suitable oil designed for 4 stroke Motercycle and offroad engines.

Mobil1? LOL! :rolleyes:

I would only use that if you are in an emergency.

All I am trying to say, is that Mobil1 is formulated for use in automobiles. They don't see the demands that our ATV engines do.

Higher RPM, High Temperature, high stress.

I am sure it would work fine, especially if you use the 20w 50. Though I am not as convinced that it should be used in anything other than an Automobile or lower stress application.

I am not sure who makes the oil for Honda, I guess that is why I run the Maxima product in my machine.

Just my opinion, don't get bent out of shape over it!;)
