HD10 Oil change kit

[Jerry]

What weight/brand oil are you running in the warmer months and any recommendations on where to buy an oil change kit on line? 

Does Can Am recommend a full synthetic? https://www.amazon.com/4-Stroke-Change-Can-Am-Synthetic-Climate/dp/B07Q3XY653/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=can+am+defender+hd10+oil+change+kit&qid=1554774320&s=gateway&sr=8-5

or semi synthetic blend? https://www.amazon.com/Can-Am-4-Stroke-Synthetic-Defender-2016-2019/dp/B07L43QHV8/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_5?keywords=can+am+defender+hd10+oil+change+kit+5w-40&qid=1554774652&s=gateway&sr=8-5-fkmrnull

Jerry,

I believe the full synthetic is their winter oil and the semi synthetic is their summer oil.  I used full synthetic aftermarket oil in the summer oil weight from walmart.  Quicksilver UTV/ATV 5w-40.  You can't go wrong with the can am oil though, but it cost more.  I posted a thread a while back comparing the  cost of the two.  I ordered the filters and crush washers on cheapcycle parts. Make sure you change the gearbox oil also.  On mine the gearbox needed it the most. I also changed the front differential but it looked pretty new after a year.
