Didn't matter if it was Kawasaki, Suzuki or whatever, just use an ATV specked oil.

I do.



Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the spec you're speaking of is JASO and Rotella T6 meets JASO/JASO MA.

The only reason not to use it, would be based on RockChuck's post above. I remember reading something about it and what you mentioned, that's why I started the thread.

I appreciate your reply, thanks.


Great! Rotella checks another box. Heck of a lot easier to get my hands on & probably less cost than Honda oil. Been a fan of Rotella for decades.


WAY cheaper than Honda oil or at least where I live.
