My two cents.. If your gunna use the oil in your 400ex, use 15w-40 Rotella-T diesel oil. I use it in mine, was recommended by my engine builder and is alot cheaper than synthetic. My oil temps are the same too.

I use Amsoil Powersports 0w40 in mine, it runs cooler, oil lasts longer, oil stays clean. I use Amsoil marine 80w90 hypoid gear oil in differentials as well. It will handle up to 10% water to it without loosing lubricity and prevents rust/corrosion. In my TRX450FM which gets ridden daily, after 18months riding, oil still looks like new. It is a little pricey, but the extra protection is worth it.

      Hi guys, I have a 2004 big bear 400. Last winter while plowing the driveway, I heard a loud pop from the left side of the engine. It continued to run as I looked for leaky fluid, but then died shortly after backing it up and won’t start now. The oil light comes on when I try to start it, no noise or anything else. 
      No blown fuses that I can find.
