Thanks for the replies so far! Here are the specs on the two oils 10w40 PROPERTIES Colour Visual Yellow / Green Fluo Viscosity grade SAE J 300 10W-40 Density at 20°C (68°F) ASTM D1298 0.860 Viscosity at 40°C (104°F) ASTM D445 82.3 mm²/s Viscosity at 100°C (212°F) ASTM D445 13.13 mm²/s...

Just bought a new yamaha 450x. Wanted to run a high quality oil and was thinking about using Motul. What is the pros and cons between running a 5w40 vs a 10w40? Both are fully synthetic. Also who do you guys think makes the best oil filters? I have ran K&N in the past in other quads but have...

So is the consensus that if you do have fuel in the oil that only a small amount of it will evaporate at running temp and the majority will stay?

I changed it at 2,000 miles because i thought it would help flush out the wear in metals, etc. I didn't realize that it can take multiple changes for the wear in particles to be completely flushed out. I drive a lot for work ( 40,000+ miles a year ) so it wont take me long to get a pretty...

So i have always used Mobil 1 in all of my vehicles, and this is the first time that I have ever had an oil sample done. As I have been looking through posts on the board I did have another question. It seems that a lot of the UOA's that are using Mobil 1 show high IRON. Is this the case? If so...

Thanks to everyone so far for their thoughts. Looks like the plan will be to change the current oil at 5k, retest, and then refill with 5w30 Ex performance Mobil 1.

And i've heard that German Castrol 0w30 is great oil. Any thoughts for this application?

So would trying a 40w be of a benefit?

wallyuwl, Just curious what oil are you running?

for the issue being excessive fuel in the oil which also is resulting in poor gas mileage I would hope they would cover it!

its the AFE 0w30 not the EP 5w30. That was a typo sorry guys! Searching the forums and it seems that GM has issued a recalibration for the 6's but its unclear whether they have for the 4's. Im gonna call the dealer tomorrow and ask.

Thanks for your input and correction.

I'm new to the board and was hoping that you guys could take a look at my sample for me. I did the first oil change at 2000 miles and then this one at 12,000 per the OLM. There has been some concerns about fuel in the oil over at the Terrain forum, GM is having some issues with the fuel pumps...
