I’ve had this 05 Honda Rancher for at least a decade. I’ve only changed the oil once about 5 years ago (it’s a Honda, it’ll survive my neglect). The old girl is an automatic so I want to make sure I use an oil that’s friendly to the tranny (even though I’ve neglected it). Any recs? I don’t have a Honda dealer close anymore and not really interested in driving 90 miles each way to get to one. The older I get the less I tend to shop online so would prefer to pick up oil in person from a parts store, farm store, etc. Don’t bother suggesting Amsoil either. I absolutely will not purchase it and not because I don’t think it’s a quality product, that’s a discussion for a different time and place but they aren’t getting my hard earned dollar.

I run a 50/50 mix of Rotella 15w40 and Rotella 5w40 synthetic in ours. The goal is to end up with something close to a 10w40, and since both oils are supposed to be JASO MA rated, I've never had a problem with it. It’s been working great for me, so just sharing what’s been solid for my setup.
