Oil Changes


Recommended Posts

Ok, I'm not trying to start an out of control thread, however I am interested in how often and what products you use for oil changes.  On all my vehicles I change oil at least as often as recommended by the manufacturer and use the recommended products or better.  That is where the debate should get interesting.  On my '20 Polaris 850, I use the Polaris recommended oil and filter and change once a year or more often depending on hours of operation.  In my trucks, I use Mobil full synthetic until I get them over 100K then I'll use a blend or high mileage oil--Valvoline or Mobil or NAPA.  Since I'm in NM Montana I use 0W20 to 5W30. 

Would like to hear what you're using.

I also run Mobile 1 in all my vehicles have for 20 plus years and like it very much. In my ATV I have stuck with mineral oil , only because mine are older and that's what was recommended for them at the time of production,  not sure if that's right or not, but that's what I do. I do stick with the manufacturers oil, only for peace of mind, because I feel like it is formulated right for their engines. Im sure there are probably better oils out there but yamalube has one of the best rating iv read, but I don't always believe everything I read, especially on the internet. One more thing I might add I did change one of my older vehicles to synthetic, a 99 V8, that had been using mineral oil since new and I noticed that it seemed to burn more oil than before, and synthetic to me seems thinner than the the same weight in mineral oil, so I switched it to high mileage synthetic and it even burned more oil, just my experience.

      I have a 2016 Arctic Cat 500 and recently noticed some oil leaking on the engine block to the right of the oil filter. It's near two metal lines going in and out of the engine block. I think one of the lines is called an engine oil line. I have a photo I'm going to try and attach. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to start tearing into the engine if I don't have to. I think maybe a gasket or something blew around one of these lines. The ATV runs fine otherwise. Doesn't overheat or anything.

      If you had to choose one mod that you couldn't live without, or had to recommend one what would it be?
