You should download an owners manual and it will have everything you need to know in it.

There are owner and service manuals on this site.

The tires have it on the side what the recommended tire pressure is. I usually run mine at 5psi even for plowing. 

As for what oil to use, make sure its wet clutch safe. I use synthetic.

I think my Eiger has the same 400 engine as your Arctic Cat, this is what I used, not saying its better than synthetic, I used Suzuki Ecstar R5000 10W-40 mineral oil. I also used the compatable suzuki oil filter, and this is why, I went to change the oil and it had a Fram filter, when I pulled the filter it concerned me that there was no oil in the filter, I assumed it had drained back down, maybe the Fram doesn't have a check valve to keep that from happening. Not sure of that I just ordered the correct Suzuki filter.

Tire pressure from my owners manual 4.7PSI front 4.4 PSI rear, so 5 sounds good to me.

That's strange about the filter being dry Gw..  Have you checked it since in case there's a blockage. That filter should be under pressure and so the oil should get through, but some bikes have a pressure bypass that lets oil bypass the filter if it gets too dirty, That bypass valve could be stuck open, or the filter might be causing an air lock..  It shouldn't, but... 

On some manuals they say to undo a bolt in the center of the filter cover and bleed the air and check the oils getting to there after an oil change.

I did check after I changed the filter and it did have oil in it but not a lot like I expected i will check it again after I get it good and warmed up. Thanks!
