The last time I had my Rhino at the dealer, they let it slip that they used the Honda oil in everything, because they buy it in bulk drums. I was fine with that at the time, but now I have 1000 miles on my machine, & was thinking of swapping to synthetic. This got me thinking, what do the Southern S X S riders use? So lets have it, what do you Guys use, or recommend?

One more thing, do you use the Yamaha oil filter, or go to your local part store & get a automotive filter that's about 1/3 the price?

If you do go the the local Auto Zone, NAPA, or whatever, what do you ask for. Do I need a cross-reference number?

amsoil and oem filters!!!

i had a k&n filter vibrate loose and cost me a motor. the oem have a locking type plate where most of the others do not.

You can also hose clamp the filter and saftery wire so it doesnt move of at least on the 700 i butted the part where you tighting it up against a piece of the motor so it wont move. I also installed an oil pressure gauge too just to be sure.

yep it sucked oh well- im happy now. the weird think is it had about 15-20 on the dyno doing some vdi testing and then I duned half a day taking it easy- stopped at the hill for a little bit then took off to run up Olds hill and noticed it was running weird and loud so I took my headsets off and then noticed something was wrong with how loud it really was. theat is the only down fall to having the rugged radio setup.
I shut it down right away and then got it back to camp on a trailer.

X2 here. I used rotella full synthetic. The amsoil is less contaminated after each oil change then the rotella IMO. However, I do use Rotella in all 9 of my big truck. So I do think highly of Rotella and I still use amsoil in the Rhino.

I got no "deal" on it from a local source -- same price as what appears to be MSRP.

http://www.amsoil.com/a/synthetic-motorcycle-oil

But, in comparison non-sythetic Valvoline motorcyle oil was about $8 a quart at my local Advance Auto Parts... not knowing for sure about the whole "wet-clutch" issue with non-motorcycle oils, I decided to spend the little bit extra and not worry about it...

Compared to the 10 gallons of 20w50 Amsoil I bought to go in my Power Trac's hydraulic system a while back, this was "background noise"...
