Title: What oil to use?
Post by: GSPKurt on March 09, 2005, 11:23:03 AM
I was at the 'Zuki dealer today getting an oil filter for my new Eiger. He mentioned offhand that I shouldn't use automotive oil in my quad due to a wet clutch. Is this true? Why? What oil should I use?

He is absolutley right, the friction modifiers in the automotive oil with prematurely cause clutch related problems. you want to stand by atv/motorcycle oils.

I have an 04 Eiger 4x4 and use Yamalube 4. Works great.

I use amsoil.  Last oil change I started using it, night and day difference in shifting.  It was smooth before...like butter now.
