Once you go to synthetic you don't have to always use it but why would you go back to 25 cent oil when your already running good oil???

Of course I'm going to recommend Amsoil. Go out to www.amsoil.com and read up on why they are far superior in wear protection over all other leading brands.....:macho

You get what you pay for and as far as protecting my several thousand dollar motor, I"ll pay extra for the good stuff and not chimp out on cheap oil that is junk after an hours ride....:cool:

no petroleum oil or semi synthetic will protect your motor like a synthetic oil will... There are lots of synthetic brands out there and its up to you to research which one you want to use. YOu'll here lots of replies on why you should use this oil or that oil but most of those people probably don't know the difference between oil and ky jelly.....:D

Depends on temps.
So 20W-50 for summer,
And 10W-40 or 30 for winter.
But thats where i'm at, where your at may have different temps.

You can use synthetics at any time EXCEPT when you are breaking in your new motor. Its generally thought to be too slippery to allow the rings to properly seat on a new motor. After the motor is broken in, then synthetics can be used.

I use Opti-4... I strongly prefer this oil over Ams-Oil.... It is so much better on 4-strokes then ams-oil.... I know a guy and bought it from him off the internet and he is really a great buisnessmen with his stuff... go to... http://www.schaeperkoetter.com/ ..... email them and ask them about opti-4 and how to order it....I have used Opti-4 for 1.5 years and I LOVE IT.... AND i want you to use it on your atv too because it really is good oil.... P.M me if you have any more questions or comments

schaeperkoetters stuff is DA BOMB!!!!!
