Take in in for the first one. Changed it your self after that. I would not use any kind of Automobile Oil in it. I would use the Can-Am or something else that they would recommend. No matter what anyone says MOST ALL Automoble oil is different. I know that is not good for the wet clutches in Yamaha, honda,Suzuki, and Kawasaki. I have seen wheelers come in at the Yamaha dealer and told us they were slipping. FIRST question, what kind of oil?? Changed the oil out flush it and its good to go again.

Valvoline makes an ATV oil and Motorcycle oil both. THose are very good.

here is the link.
