99 Suzuki 300 King Quad Oil?

[K-Log]

Hey guys,
Need to draw on your wisdom again.
Do any of you have Suzuki Quads?
What type of oil do you use? Up till this point I've always used Suzi oil but was wondering if Rotella or some other brand will work?
Know a good forum for these Suzi quads?

Rotella should work fine. I don't think quads have different oil requirements than other motorcycle type vehicles.

It's just an internal combustion engine. Any quality oil will do fine.
AFA a forum, have you tried http://www.exriders.com/vbb/forumdisplay.php?forumid=160 ?

Thanks guys,
Next stupid question. Would you use the synthetic or regular?

This is what I use and have used for 30 yrs in all my bikes and small engines.

I like synthetic for air cooled engines since they can run hot and synthetic hold up to heat better than dino oil.

I plan to move to diesel oil on my next change. Desiels run a lot hotter than gasoline engines, and need oil that captures more particulates. I might go with a part synthetic, but with only 3k miles for 5 quarts, full synthetics are just too costly for my budget.

Bikes are put away for now... At least till the next warm front. Time to get the 4 wheeled Suzi out and do the maintenance! We haven't had a real snow storm yet, but it can't be long........ New Years Eve potentially.
I like the Rotella in the GS proly try it in the quad and see how she works. The diesel oils seem like the way to go and I don't know much about the Amsoil products.
Thanks all for the advice!

K-log,
I had to overhaul the the upper end on my ex's 660 grizzly a few years back. before I had my fingers on it, all it had used for oil was Yamalube. I didn't even hesitate about which oil to throw in it. in went Rotella 5w40.
