Breakin oil the rhino 250

Rastar · 05-18-2020, 12:09 PM

Hey all, I bought some valvoline oil but was searching here and found a thread about rotella t4 for the break-in period.

Not trying to start a oil war, just want to make sure I have the right story as the atv will be here in a couple hours and I want to swap the oil ASAP.

Also, about how much do they hold?

~1 liter/quart, use non synthetic 10w40.

I do the Rotella T4 diesel stuff(15w-40) in my rhino and all my china bikes. Works good, cheap, available at Walmart.
These things hold a quart. Drain a qt out, dump a qt in, go.
Easy cheap insurance.

I also use Rotella but as long as the oil is approved for wet clutches it'll be fine.

Rotella here too. Just whatever you do... don't use the stir fry wok oil that comes in the crankcase as shipped.

First couple of oil changes should be close together... make sure to clean the magnet off of the drain plug.. there will be some fine metal dust/shavings.. this is normal.
