4 stoke oil

[Mikey250z]

what kind of oil do you use in a 4 stroke engine. Its a 85 ytm 200e

I have heard that any automotive oil that is NOT energy conserving will work fine in an engine with wet clutches.

[Mikey250z]

do i just use like 10w30 or something or atf fluid or what

[puttputt]

any decent automotive oil will work, especially if you change it once in a while. Look for the starburst emblem on the bottle - that tells you it passed ASPE specs or some such.
10w30 or 10w40, not 'energy conserving' -

atf is NOT motor oil.

[Mikey250z]

so pennzoil 10w30 would be good.

[puttputt]

change it occasionally, like when it turns dark brown or
every 20 - 30 hrs

Like Glenn and putt said, as long as is doesnt say 'energy conserving' - Then it wont have the friction modifiers added and your good to go.

The engine oil also lubes the trans gears as well as the clutch.
