what is the best oil to run in my 2008 kawasaki kfx450r race quad

First let me say I love the sight drinking glass...
EVERYTHING should have one.

I want to change the oil and filter.

I'grand open to recommendations on both.

I ordinarily endeavor to apply the all-time inside reason, because I prefer to drain oft on nigh things, and I am non stingy about filters either. I change them and apply skilful ones.

I just don't really take a inkling on this engine though... other than I realize it probably needs and deserves special attention.

I don't know what filter fits much less what to get. I don't have admission to "boutique" oils, and I practice not typically buy into the manufacturer's oil, because ATV mfg'southward manufacture ATV'due south not oil.

i utilize amsoil 0-40. x-xl works but as good. and for oil filters just become to a kawi dealership and ask for OEM oil filters. been using them since i got the quad and they always work the all-time. i change mine everytime i change the oil just some guys say you tin can just change them every2 times. i like to exist safe then pitiful

I figured I would exercise Wix/NAPA filters or the stock Kawasaki.... which is likely the same filter.

The oil, I have not settled on yet. Sometimes I tin can go the Amsoil motorcycle oil here. I've been told availability will be more than consistent. I've converted my Polaris to pre-mix and I'm using Amsoil there with better results.

Otherwise, I can get Mobil 1 motorcycle and Valvoline ATV. Annihilation else I would apply would be not motorcycle specific.

Shell has been suggested to me, both the Rotella T 15w40 and the Rotella Synthetic 5w40.

I besides have 2 quarts of Mobil 1 15w40 that were suggested to me for my 400EX.

I may be over-reacting, but I'm thinking this engine might be real hard on it's oil fill up. The capacity is small and shared, there is no oil cooler, and this is a high reving loftier functioning engine.

i changed mine about every 12-15 hours Simply INCASE. especially because i ride HARDD track hours. talking near rev limiter alllll day.

amsoil has fabricated this engine run much better then before. i used to run mobile 1 x-40 then i switched to amsoil motorcycle 10-xl and it shifted/ran and clutched ALOT smoother.

im using the 0-forty now and afterward a hard track day today everythings still fine.

oh and a tip for filling the oil up. put a quart in right abroad. so fiddling past little watch until the sight glass gets about halfway. then run it for 5 minutes and plough it off. await at the sight drinking glass and brand sure its at or a little above half.

Well how about that!...

I was starting to recall something was getting set up for adjustment on the last ride.

I recall thinking this thing felt like a work of art. Very like shooting fish in a barrel shifting with a very positive click you could feel quick in a brusque throw equally y'all shifted.

They changed the oil and sent it home with me, and information technology seems to accept gone downhill since instead of getting fifty-fifty better with burglary.

To me, information technology has seemed like it was taking more shifter throw to shift, the positive click is gone... plus a few times I have caught neutral by accident... and a few times I've had to hunt it more than when I wanted it.

So it is going to be interesting to me one time I get a chance to alter the oil.

Well, I read that pdf on Amsoil's site... the study of motorcycle oils... and I tell you, later that, I am afraid to run about motorcycle oils... except Amsoil and Mobil.

To me, the actually alarming role is that over half of the oils tested FAILED the RUST prevention test. 6 of 12 in the SAE40 group failed and 9 of 16 in the SAE50 group.

The Beat out Rotella T 15w40 dino and 5w40 synthetic come highly recommended, but I haven't looked more into them however.

Well, I scooted up to NAPA for a filter and some Amsoil.

They didn't have the filters in stock, which was a good thing because they wanted $26 for 2 quarts of Amsoil Motorcycle 10w40.

That seems a little out there to me....

k4f5x0r u say that u change ur oil every 12-15 hrs and on a track which isnt bad past whatever means cause u chane ur oil filter but most guys i know that race fifty-fifty ride 450s say to change oil every 2 to 5 hrs and modify the filter every other oil change and i cant help u with what type of oil to run considering so far ive only run gn4 10w-twoscore throught mine now im ****ching to shell 15w-40

changing oil THAT ofte is just pointless. especially synthetic. i dont accept that kind of money to dish out on oil and filters.

MTN: thats mode too expensive. with my sponsorship from amsoil its about 100 shipped directly from amsoil for 12 quarts of 0-forty. chheck their website. kinda pricy merely its all worth it to me

OK... that's what I figured... way too...

Then now I have to decide what I'1000 going to practise... stay a buy it off the shelf local guy... or change totally and give in to e-ordering.

$100 / 12 = $8.33 qt

High, merely reasonable considering Mobil one cost.

Don't know if I'g going to sign up or just say f-it and try ane of the Rotella oils.
