package says lithium base with moly added for extreme pressure. also contains mineral oil….ok to use on the zerks on my sportsman?

read it on several forums, and their website also says so. It states that they restrick oil flow in atv’s and motorcycles. They recommend the "ML" series of filters they sell.

Have a new 850, question is how often do I need to change fluid in differentials? Most of the riding I do is pushing sprintcar through the pits and back country roads with my 2 1/2 year old. What other maintenance do you guys recommend? Mobil one or amsoil for the engine? Thanks guys!!

Going to do my initial oil change pretty soon, and I’m debating between these. I was going to go with the Mobil 1 0W-40 100% synthetic, but was wondering if anyone has tried these others? I have read about the Rotella also.

Also, I’m thinking maybe the Mobil 1 5W-40, but what’s the "turbo diesel truck" all about??? And the "European Car Formula" on the 0W-40?

Walmart had all of these in stock,

the Mobil 1 0w-40 is $27 for 5 quarts
Mobil 1 5w-40 is $27 a gallon
Rotella is $20 a gallon
Chevron 5w-40 is $20 a gallon

Lil help please! I will be changing fluids on my 2005 sportsman 400, My ? is the tranny fluid and rear gear case all in one on this machine? I have the owners manual and repair service manual and it only mentions the front Hilliard and the tranny fluids? Thanks all

For you guys with wet clutch bikes, here are the results on my Arctic Cat 500 Manual shift . Mobil One 0W40 Euro Formula, Fram filter, K&N air filter. Lots of steep trails, lots of dust. Put oil in at 5,500 miles, changed at 6,000 miles. The old AC 500 holds 4.5 qts of oil, btw. Runs between 150F and 170F. Used no oil and the oil looked amber, not black. Oil is cheap, so I’m sticking with the 500 mile change interval. Anybody else use Blackstone Labs? BTW, AC used a 500cc Suzuki in my ATV.

Purchased a 2015 Sportsman EPS in April of 15. I have only put 5 hours on the machine but have a trip planned in a couple weeks. We are planning on riding for 2 days and i could go over the recommended break in period. I’m leaning toward changing all fluids (oil, front diff, trans) before i leave. What do you guys think?

I found the oil filter at walmart . was wondering if they sell our air filter also?
I couldn’t locate one when I was there.
