Ok people, I’m a stickler on my oil changes at the proper mileage. Just wondering if anyone is using a full synthetic that’s getting them some more miles between changes. I feel like I put a lot of miles on my buggy quite quickly and would like to spend less time under it if possible. Besides it’s hard on the back trying to get the oil in the damn thing, lol.

Been changing ours every 1000 miles, the crap with the on board computer, just a built in money maker for the dealership. When ridding season gets here and I have been abusing the clutches on trail I'll change it more often, in the Summer doing yard work doesn't count.

Agreed on the on board thing! I use true miles, the wife and I do a lot of 2 tracking and I drive back and fourth to work so it doesn’t take long to rack up the miles. It’s almost a year and a half old and I have 2300 miles on it,most (about1800)were put on this summer.

I agree, keep an eye on your air filter, there high dollar, looking for a reasonable price air filter
