Nitro6two Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 I have a pretty sweet thing going for now, when I bought my new 450r I also purchased a service contract. The contract says unlimited oil changes for three years. They give me the supplies to take home and do the work myself as I prefer it that way. I get two quarts of honda 10w40 and filter and crush washers plus 1 quart of transmission oil. I get these supplies twice a week whether I need them or not, I figure I paid for them so why not get my moneys worth, not my fault they said "unlimited". I got to thinking a little. For how hot these 450's seem to run is 10w40 adequate? Do you guys run heavier oil? Thank you for reading. Eric Quote
F-Red Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 That weight is fine. I run the Rotella Full Synthetic 5W-40. Hot ass S. Florida, no problems. Do you mean twice a month? Twice a week is a lot of oil! Quote http://450rhq.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/be5b07af4c27fc1c6c9beaaea87ef233.jpg
Nitro6two Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Thanks for the fast reply. LOL Yep twice a week. I go pick up my free supplies on Tuesday and Friday. I live on 800 acres if that helps to explain my frequent oil changes LOL. Quote

CJM Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 15w40 Rotella T Yep, same here. In the past ive used mobil 1 15w-50 and that worked fine too. These quads like thicker oil. Quote 04R work in progress
