i have a 2012 Can Am 800 Outlander ATV. Of course Can Am recommends their XPS Semi-syn or full Syn oil for this ATV. If this oil is not available the owners manual says to use a 5w30 with SM, SL, or SJ API classification. They also recommend XPS ChainCase oil or an equivilant for the gear box( i believe this is 75-140 gl-5).
What motor oil and gear box oils are any of my fellow BITOG's using in this machine or what do you recommend? Thanks, Rusty
Can Am motor oil / gear box oil.

Im having good luck with Rotella T6 in my 700cc Polaris Ranger, Im using Redline 75/90 in my rear diff and Polaris Recomended fluids in my gearbox and front diff.. So far so good
Also im finding the Polaris likes its oil changed between 25-30 hrs on Rotella, any longer thaqn that and you can really start hearing alot of noise.. this motor is very hard on oil.
I have a 2010 650 Outlander @ 2,000 miles. I have used the BRP summer blend motor oil and the XPS chaincase oil since new. I have about 300 miles now with Walmart 75w-140 synthetic in the transfercase/gearbox and it seems to shift and work just as well as with the BRP stuff. I'm thinking about switching to a 0w-40, 5w-40, or 10w40 synthetic motor oil. Not sure which brand yet.
