My quad only holds 600cc in the transmission and 800cc in the engine, so it gets dirty fast. I change the oil every time I ride. I change the filter every other time I change the oil.

I have a blaster, and I change it after 3 or 4 rides.  A regular wet clutch type motorcycle motor oil will work, and also like a 75w-80 or something close to that I use.

I change mine 2-4 times every time I sink my quad.  Do these extra changes make up for the time in between....LOL! J/K.  But really I only change it after sinking the quad, so it gets changed quite often.

My factory Honda service manual says to clean my air filter every 100 hours. That is CRAZY. In 100 hours it will be clogged. I change it every ride.

I'm with ya on that, I don't think they accounted for that fine Florida dust. Staying with the oiled filter though, K&N is a good name, but in FL the sand is too small.

If you all would buy two strokes, you would have to change half the oil and as everyone says they break down so often you can just change the oil with every rebuild. LOL  Grin

Change it after every long weekend of riding. Oil is cheap, rebuilding engines and replacing clutches is not.
