wel a couple thigns sound off in that. your cousin has not done anything to his oil in a year? has he changed it? you should change your oil every 20-30 hours depending on how hard you ride. i change mine about every 15-20, or it equals out to about once a month or every two months.
how ofter do you change your oil? does your quad smoke any? how often do you ride it? need more info before i can say what is going on.
