Hi everyone,

I dont really want to beat a dead horse with this topic, but since it relates to my origional question I thought I'd just ask in here instead of a new thread.

It's time for my first oil change. I've been told not to run synthetic for the first couple oil changes, just use a non synthetic so the rings have more time to set. I've been EVERYWHERE looking for a regular 5W 40 oil. Everywhere I go theres plenty of 10W 40 but no 5w. Even in synthetic oils same thing.

I would imagine 10W 40 would be ok, but I'm worried about damaging the quad, its my baby, dont wanna hurt it! I've been getting mixed comments from everyone.

I just wanted the opinions of actual DS450 owners and not people who think they know!

Thanks,
