0-40 in a 1 cyl UTV?

[loneryder]

My new Uforce 600 is nearing its breaking oil change. The manual suggests a number of 40wt oils but all the dealers sell is 10-40 SL oils. Am I correct in assuming that I can use a Euro 0-40?

 

[ripcord]

Sure, that would be fine. Clean and full is the most important thing for the oil.

Had to look up what a Uforce 600 is. I see it's a CFMoto product.

Assuming is does not have a wet clutch, you should be good to go using the Euro X-40 oil. Another good consideration I'd make is an HDEO 5w-40 such as Rotella synthetic.

Have fun with your new SxS.

What’s wrong with the dealers oil? I mean, I like to run Amsoil in my stuff. But if the machine still has warranty supporting the dealer now will likely have them in your corner if any issues arise…

One downside to such a wide viscosity spread is that these oils tend not to remain in grade. Acceptable when new, expect degradation to a 30 viscosity oil in short order.

Agreed but the dealer doesn't sell CFMoto oil, just Kawasaki, Yamaha, Polaris etc.

Would a 5-40 be better?

That's the thing all else being equal (which it almost never is) yes. Some 0W-40 oils are truly superb oils. Since you are in a location where cold weather can be a factor, the lower cold viscosity has advantages.

 

[loneryder]

I may just use a Euro 0-40 until the next change, let it break in some more and then go to Amsoil or a diesel 5-40.

What temp does it have to start in. Also does the manual say anything about wet clutches or does it mention jaso ma? If it's a wet clutch I'd rather use rotella since it has the wet clutch additives. Available in 5/15w-40.

Right now it's in the teens weather wise . No wet clutch.

15w is technically good to 4f but I'd still use something better at those temps so it starts easier. Use whatever you want really. I'd use any euro 30/40 year round. Castrol edge euro 5w-30/40 is $25 a jug and usually always stocked on Walmart shelves. I order QS euro but it's only a few bucks less. Mobil 0w-40 is always good.

Rotella T6 5W40

I've been using 10w40 motul or Valvoline utv oil in my parents cfmoto uforce1000

Probably switch to rotella when the warranty is up
