So just like most others when something is new we try and go by the book with our new machines requirements, With my new UTV, im no different. The 2015 Teryx v-twin 800cc Manual is calling for 10-40 Motorcycle oil as this machine is equipped with a wet clutch. Ive been using 5w-40 RT-6 in my Polaris Ranger that's spec'd for 2w=50 for years with no detectable side effects. My point is Im not afraid to stick with what I know works well (the RT-6 5W-40) However im also inclined to stick with the 10-40 recommendation as its a brand new machine and I have the "by the book" bug.. Ive used RT6 in 3 different motorcycles and two different atv's and everything from 1000cc Crotch rockets to 250cc twins and never noticed any difference in temps, clutch feel or performance between the spec'd oil and the RT6. so stick with the RT6 after I dump my break in oil, or do you have any suggestion's for a 10w-40 that the book calls for ? They suggest 20 hours on break in oil and then every 50 hours after that. ALSO: Book says to change the front and rear diffs at 20 hours as well what are we using in the front and rear diffs with good results (synthetic) ?
Thanks Otis.
No way am I planning to overpay for Kawasaki branded conventional oil at $8-$9 a quart.
