AGGRESSIVE RIDING AND HARD WORK EQUAL STRESS: HERE’S HOW TO PROTECT YOUR ATV OR UTV
All that hard work and good, clean fun, however, place tremendous stress on your machine. It’s up to the motor oil and other lubricants to withstand the intense heat and stress that can sideline your rig if you’re not prepared. However, standard-service lubricants may not be formulated to deliver the extra measure of protection needed to maximize ATV and UTV performance and life. To take your maintenance routine to the next level, upgrade to AMSOIL synthetic lubricants.
Accessories equal weight
It’s common to burden UTVs or ATVs with accessories designed to increase power or productivity, especially for UTV owners. Enthusiasts often add roof and door panels, a winch, a plow, skid plates and other accessories. Plus, how often do you haul a load of gravel or pull a trailer or other implement? This all adds weight, and extra weight equals extra heat. Heat, in turn, causes lubricants to break down sooner, which places your engine and differentials at risk of wear.
Heat invites engine wear
The oil’s primary job is to form a protective layer on metal parts to keep them separated so they don’t rub together and wear out. High heat from the stress you place on your machine, however, can cause oils formulated for standard service to become thinner (lose viscosity). Oil that has lost viscosity can fail to develop an oil film of adequate thickness or strength to protect against wear.
Plus, high heat invites sludge and performance-robbing deposits inside the engine. Sludge can clog oil passages and starve the engine of oil, while deposits can cause the piston rings to stick or interfere with proper valve operation, leading to reduced engine compression.
Since compression equals power, over time your engine can make less power, limiting your ability to ride or work as effectively as possible. Eventually, deposits and sludge can wreck the engine completely.
Shift to better performance
The story is similar inside the transmission, differential and front drive. All the extra weight and stress of hard work and performance riding concentrates intense pressure on gears.The lubricant coats the gear teeth during operation, guarding against metal-to-metal contact and wear. The added stress, combined with high heat, can break the fluid film and literally squeeze the lubricant from between the gears, leading to wear. As with the motor oil, high heat causes the lubricant to thin, which negatively affects wear protectiion
Upgrade to synthetic lubricants
So what’s the solution? Ride more conservatively? Haul lighter loads and work less? Never. Upgrade to high-quality AMSOIL synthetic motor oil, differential and
transmission fluid, front drive fluid and other lubricants, especially if you’ve modified your ATV or UTV for greater power or productivity.
AMSOIL synthetic ATV/UTV lubricants don’t contain the impurities inherent to conventional lubricants, meaning they deliver better performance and last longer.
Their naturally tough base oils resist extreme heat and maintain a strong protective film better than conventional products.
Think of synthetics as just another performance upgrade. You don’t think twice about dropping a few hundred dollars on a snowplow or work trailer. Over the course of your machine’s life, the few extra dollars you spend per oil change or transmission/differential service is a drop in the bucket by comparison, and the return on investment is invaluable.
