I'm wanting to run Shell Rotella T6 synthetic in the 700 Griz but I can only find it in either 0W-40 or 5W-40 weights, and the manual says it's ok to use everything BUT those weights...5W-30, 10W-30, 10W-40, 15W-40, 20W-40 and 20W-50.

Would it be ok to use the Rotella 5W-40 or do I need to stick to what's specified in the manual?

id stick with something from the manual, is it a wet clutch? i wouldnt recommend a full synthetic in a wet clutch, as they have special additives that can cause atv clutches to slip after a while.

imo find yourself a nice 10w-30 wet clutch capable off road oil and get crazy with your oil change.
