Reply With QuoteYamalube!!!!!!!! Its what comes in the rhino so you know it has to be ok for it. A little pricey but better than screwing something up with the wrong oil.
hey guys yet another rhino question.
what oil are you running.
i've been told as long as you run the right weight of oil it doesn't matter. i have people running motor oil 10/30 and then i have people saying that the motor oil will cause the floating clutch to heat up slip and feeze. the guys that have been running the motor oil have had no problems at all. but you have the other guys saying that it is a wreck waiting to happen.
any thoughts on this would be highly appreciated. going to change the oil for the first time and don't want any drama in the desert for new years.
thanks

I would hope everyone is running motor oil. Are you questioning synthetic vs. conventional?

I used Motul 4 stroke engine oil. I think if you are changing it on a regular basis it doesn't really matter what oil you use.

There you go. Motul is about the best of the best.
Just stay away from Synthetic and you will be golden!!! I use a stright 40 in the summer and 10-30 in the winter...
What's wrong with useing synthetic ?
It tear's up the wet clutch. I am unsure the exact's but Have read alot on it in the past Yamaha even strongly suggest's against it...
Thank you, i was inquireing for the use on our Arctic Cat is all ????
I would run a full synthetic in any of them. Free up some HP (less friction) and help keep the clutch cool. Twice the endurance of regular. Out in the middle of the desert, 20 miles from camp at 115 degrees, I would want the best I could put in it.
