Can I use regular motor oil in my ATV?
You should not use regular motor oil in an ATV. Regular motor oil is made for cars and trucks and is not going to live up to the same standard that the more intricate friction ratings of your ATV needs. It is best to use ATV-specific oil, or at least an oil that is of the same nature as an ATV-specific oil.
Is it OK to use synthetic oil in an ATV?
You can use automotive oil in an ATV or UTV if needed. But it’s not always recommended. Your best option is to use synthetic car oil, in 10w-40 weight, if you have to. But oils made specifically for ATVs, Motorcycles and UTVs are your best bet as they are engineered to protect those smaller engines.
What kind of oil should I use in my ATV?
Traditional automotive motor oils are usually 10W-30 or 5W-20 viscosity; however, Polaris for instance, uses a 5W-50 viscosity for their off-road engines.
Can you put 10W 30 in a 4 wheeler?
It is advised to respect it. The engines are machined so that the chosen viscosity is most effective. In the example recommendation above, the manufacturer requires grade 10w30, so depending on the start temperature, 0W30, 5W30 or 10W30 would be good choices.
