amsoil in my wheeler

[gman2002]

i need to change the oil in my 06 grizzly , and wondering if anyone has used the amsoil in there wheeler , and how it performed.

[jltimm]

Amsoil 0-40 ATV oil is what I've ran in my wheelers for 5 years (since I found out about it). Ran it in my 2003 Grizzly 660, and now my 2005 Suzuki Kingquad 700. Great oil, easier cold weather starts as well.

Yep, switched to amsoil after break in. Front and rear diffs also. It is easy for me to get at the local Napa. If it's easily available, why not?? It's only 2 quarts.

I run that in my Diesel Mule also and she starts in mornings like these...(double digit below zero) no problem.

I use it in my wheeler, truck, car, auger, weed wacker, and every other engine I have. I believe in the stuff so much, that I became a dist. Please dont ask me to sell you, Oilman has paid for that right. Email him for what you need, and he will square you away.

Are you guys that use the 0w-40 using in the summertime also?

I do. Used to use motorcycle 10-40 amsoil, until the came out with the 4 stroke 0-40 oil. Both seem fine. I feel better with the 0-40 for the winter.

0-40 Amsoil for me year round. That's another thing I like about it, all weather protection.

This winter I put in Honda 0w-40 for better cold starting but I was told as soon as it warms up I need to go back to 5w. I think I might just put in amsoil instead.

You should be fine with the 0W-40 ATV oil (prod. code AFF) in your wheeler year round in any climate.

theoilman,

what would you recommend for the hydraulic transmissions in the Honda Rincon?

The motor oil is also the transmission oil.

[theoilman]

Most Hondas the engine and transmission are separate sumps (separate oil), but use the same type of oil in both.

If the spec is for a motor oil for the transmission AMSOIL has 2 products that either will work well - the 0W-40 ATV 4-stroke oil (prod. code AFF) or the 10W-40 MotorCycle oil (prod. code MCF). My preference for Minnesota Winter would be the 0W-40.

If it is not a motor oil spec for your hydraulic transmission send me the Honda spec or the Honda part number, then I can cross reference it. (I don't have a Honda application book listing it by machine model series.) (Note, I am normally on-line here daily in the evening for a while only.)

Lep, this isnt really the answer to your question, but what I heard works good is the Harley Davidson synthetic oil. That is what my brother uses in his Rincon, and Mankato Honda reccomended it to him.

[Dave S]

thanks for the info oilman. I will get a spec and post later with the info I find. I'm getting ready to go out to find some coyote's today.

Scott,

I find it odd that Mankato Honda suggested the Harley oil. Might have to check into that as well.

Thanks

LEP7MM - I've got a rincon also and from what I've gathered as long the oil states on the back JASO-MA is good for use in the transmission. I'm pretty sure I'm going to switch because there are some that think it actually shifts better with the synthectics like amsoil or golden spectra.

[spearchucker]

JASO MA is a wet clutch rating meaning that it isn't supposed to make a wet clutch slip.

I have found Golden Spectro to not hold up as well as other oils. Stick with the Amsoil or Mobil 1 if you want a synthetic.
