Just make sure you use a name brand oil, for injection type systems, not pre-mix.

Did ya get the owners manual with it? If ya did it should be in there. If not go to ur local dealer and they can tell you what to run in it.

Good luck!

I use Maxima MTL 80w in my Banshee. Lasts about a weekend before it needs changed.

A Blaster uses 3/4 (.74 to be exact) of a quart of oil.

I personally like Klotz oil.
