I notice mobil 1 makes a synthetic v-twin motorcycle formula, 20w50. Also amsoil makes a 0w-40 4-stroke oil. Anyone have any experience with these oils in their ATV's?
Um, dave as I said the 15w40 and 10w40 have very similar base and additive chemisties. The 15w40 also does not have the friction modifiers. This is straight from Amsoilquote:

The Amsoil 0W-40, and the 10W-40 and 20W-50 Motorcycle oils are all made specifically for motorcycles and are wet clutch compatable.
The 15W-40 is not made for motorcycles.

Your best deal would be the 15w40, since you live in AL. The 10w40 and 15w40 have very similiar specs.quote:

I've used the AMSOil 0W-40 in my Polaris ATVs without noticing any difference from the factory Polaris 0W-40 synthetic oil. I did save a few bucks as a Prefered AMSOil Customer. I change ATV oil twice a year, and I will probably try the AMSOil 10W-40 Motorcycle oil for the summer weather.
Take your pick, 0w40, 10w40 or the 15w40. All would work well in your application.quote:
