Title: Oil Changes? Post by: eric on January 31, 2005, 10:08:13 PM Wondering how often you should change the oil in a quad to keep it in good condition if you use standard brand name oil? I was told every 20 hours.
Title: Re: Oil Changes? Post by: Hollywood on January 31, 2005, 10:49:24 PM I usually change mine after 2 or 3 rides.

Where do you ride at? i live right near you in Sanford. Do you ride off Orange Blvd? Title: Re: Oil Changes? Post by: 1slowfox on February 03, 2005, 09:30:42 AM I sometimes ride by my house , Like I'am not sure exactly where you live over there( I though someone said u stay in 1 of the 2 apartment behind or beside my neighboor hood)
But I sometimes ride around the trashy looking field off of international , except the guy is a deek and sometimes calls the cops .. I've also rode a few times over by semiens on Rhinehart .. We ride in a field over by BJ's on 46 we are actually trying to get a dozer a build a little track or maybe just some jumps to play on .. sometimes we ride over in debary , Not exactly sure how to get there .. and just recently have been going to ocala and wanting to goto big scrub but haven't yet ..

Cha-Ching The auto parts store must love you. Do you ride in a lot of dust where that is needed? Amsoil is good for 15k in a car/truck. If its looks good, no water or dust, That is a bit excessive. But at least your ATV is happy. Title: Re: Oil Changes? Post by: VelociRaptor350 on February 03, 2005, 01:36:33 PM yeah the local cycle shop loves me, when i go in shawn at the counter gets my goody bag together, 3 quarts of amsoil, filter, and spark plug. The atv loves me, my wallet is a different story.

well I was living in the Cobblestone Crossing apartments right near you up to the end of january but just moved out. I am right down the street now off Longwood Markham Rd past the soccer field. Where have you been going riding in Ocala? I go to Scrub a lot. |
