Hey guys just a quick question. I lost my manual for my 4wheeler and i need to change the oil. It is a 07' 300EX, how much do i need to put in it and should i just buy the oil from the honda place or will any 10w40 work?

You need wet clutch safe oil. (aka any motorcycle oil will work.) 10w40 is a good weight for the stocker.
Regular automotive oils can make your clutch slip.

I forget the exact fill amount on the stock quad. But it's around 1.75 quarts w/ oil filter change.

Mine with an oil cooler uses exactly 2 quarts on changes w/ oil filter change.

Yea its somewhere around 1.75 quarts. What I did when I didn't have an oil cooler was put 1 1/2 quarts start it let it idel a few minutes and check it and top it off to the upper level mark.
