    I like to save money where i can so I save all my old bacon grease and do my oil changes with that. The vescosity is great and it gives off a great smell when I ride so I am always hungry after a ride. The best thing about it though is I know I am due for an oil change when the jug I keep the left over bacon gease is full. This way I never have to keep track of how many hours of riding time between oil changes. I have only had to do 6 1/2 engin over hauls since I got it last november. The 1/2 was for the first over haul, I took it in under warrenty. They got half way through and saw I was not using the "recomend oil" and said it would not be covered so I finished it myself. Can you belive that, what dic_s! Any way I think the pros out weigh the cons. It is deffinatly an oil saver.

    My sentiments exactly, thats why I think I'll just pony out the extra money for the Polaris oil, or the KTM oil. Engineers design engines with a particular oil in mind, just anything isn't exactly the same. It's just an added risk that isn't really worth it.

    the more people I talk to that run KTM's the more I hear that the KTM race teams run rotella-t. I talked to a guy at a race sunday that has a KTM quad and that what he is running also. I ran it in mine for the first time during the race and it did fine.

    I can't get rotella T where i live. so my question still stands can i use Mobile 1 5W50 or 5W40?
    I have looked for Rotella T and i found it but it is for Diesel engines and it cost $12.00 a liter....polaris oil $11.00 and Mobile 1 cost $38 for 5 liters. So i chose to put my money where it will help me ride more and have to work less!

    Moblie one is not clutch friendly unless it is the motorcycle kind which I have never seen in a store. I saw some at the triumph dealership the other day and it was $9 a quart. It said it was for motorcycles and atv's on it though.

    Rotella-t is a deisel oil. It is what we are running. We are buying buuy the gallon here in the states for $16us a gallon for the synthetic. i think the regular is $9us a gallon.
