ATV Lubricants & Oil

Too often, ATVs are left unlubricated and with old oil. And though these machines are built to take abuse, even they can succumb to prolonged lack of maintenance. Not keeping your ATV lubed up can lead to massive failure to important components. That can prove to very costly, and it often happens at the worst possible time. It’s also crucial that you are using ATV specific oils and lubricants. These are designed to meet the unique requirements of ATVs. Regular auto lubes are not a good choice.

Most importantly, you need to choose a solid ATV engine oil built for the rigors that you will put your engine through. Most ATVs are 4 strokes and thus use 4 stroke oil. Full synthetic is a great option for high performance riders. Synthetic can handle higher amounts of abuse. The best engine oils contain additives to help prevent rust and corrosion and to also makes clutch shifting smoother. While there are much less 2 strokes out there, you still need a solid 2 stroke oil that you can trust.

Many other components require lubricants on your ATV as well. The differential is often overlooked, but periodically requires lubricant changes, especially with hard use. CV joints, drive shafts, drive chains, ball joints, and suspension components all need to be serviced with lube and grease from time to time. Choose ATV specific lubes and grease for these components to get the longest lifespan out of your equipment.
