Good morning all, been probably over a decade since posting, but still haven't lost the oil obsession over the years.
Recently purchased a 2021 CF Moto cforce 600, about 39 hours and 240 miles. The previous owner says all the 200mile service was done, but as an oil nut I always like to start with a fresh fluid change in all my vehicles.
So, I have never owned an ATV before. I had thought oil selection would be more straightforward, but of course the more I read, the more questions I have.
1st, I *believe* this is not a wet clutch, but of course I can't find where I read that. Is anyone familiar with these machines and can confirm?
2nd, oil recommendation. Manual says SAE 5/10/15w-40 depending on temps (I'm in upstate NY, don't plan to ride in winter).
-I was going to use a synth 10w40 auto oil (I also have rotella t4 15w40 on hand), however I see there are ATV and motorcycle oils also. Can anyone make a recommendation here?
-I know nothing about these wet and dry clutches. Assuming it is a dry clutch, is there reason to avoid oils that can be used in wet clutch applications?
plan to do diffs with valvoline 80w90 gear oil that I have on hand, all grease points with Lucas Red n tacky.
I appreciate any advice. ATVs are an entirely new world for me.
(My son also has a coleman 125cc quad, Tao engine, that the rotella 15-40 is in, if anyone has recommendation there. That is a wet clutch I believe)
