thanks alot!!! i looked on the stes and found everything sofar.

PS what type of oil do you fellas use? Arctic cat apv synthetic is what is listed on the machine.. synthetic stuff..

thanks

I run AMSOIL Synthetic (the regular stuff, think it's called HP, roughly $35- / gallon cdn$) I've run it for 8 years & have never had an issue. Last 5 years I've been running Amsoil in an '02 ZR800efi with power valves, no problem with oil, & my power valves are always pretty clean.

My engine blew up last year (not due to oil). The left cylinder leaned out & took out everything except for the right cylinder, piston, & head. With 10,000 miles, the right cylinder & head still looked brand new!! The crosshatches in the cylinder looked perfect & the head had no defects. The right piston looked great too!! I was shocked at how well they had held up!

I bought a used engine & rebuilt it. I'm still running Amsoil. After seeing the condition of my last engine (on the right cylinder), with 10,000 miles, to look as good as it does... I'm a believer in Amsoil!!

Best advice: do some research & decide what's best for you. If you get 5 guys in a room & ask what the best oil is, chances are you'll get 5 very different & possibly angry responses...

It's your choice. I spent alot of time researching oils about 8 years ago & I chose Amsoil. I'm very happy with it. I'm sure others will disagree. It's a personal choice.
