Use Valvoline four-stroke ATV oil in your 2013 Arctic Cat 400 ATV. This oil is formulated to withstand the rigors of use in an air-cooled, roller bearing engine. Automotive-type oils won't hold up to the extreme temperatures and shear pressures generated by this engine, and they will break down prematurely and leave the engine unprotected.

Yellow Lab Puppies For Sale Near Toledo OhioAdditionally, engine oil bathes the clutch pack and synthetic oils will make the clutch slip. Locate the hole in the skid plate, just beneath the engine.

Position a drain pan under the hole. Using a ratchet and socket, remove the drain plug and allow the oil to drain from the engine. Install a new gasket on the drain plug, and thread the plug in by hand. Torque the drain plug to 12 foot-pounds, using a foot-pound torque wrench and socket. Using a filter wrench, remove the old oil filter. Wipe the filter plate with a clean rag to remove any residual oil or road grime, and ensure that the old gasket came off with the filter. Smear a light coat of fresh oil on the new filter gasket. Spin the filter on until the gasket contacts the plate, then tighten it an additional one-quarter turn. Wipe off any residual oil. Remove the engine oil dipstick cap. Add three quarts of engine oil. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes, then turn the engine off and check the oil level, using the dipstick. Add oil as necessary to bring it to the "Full" mark and check the plug and filter for leaks. Problems With ATV Engines 2005 Arctic Cat 400 ATV Specs

Maintenance-free suspension bushings, fully sealed engines and electronics, and tough-as-nails drive systems see to that. But a diet of these potentially destructive ingredients requires a few key maintenance measures to keep your ATV in top shape and ready for more feasts of terra firma. According to the expert Arctic Cat, Cat Master Technician Dealers, a few simple tips will keep your ATV in top form, whether it's a classic or a new model. Different conditions and riders make any one-size-fits-all maintenance program impossible. However, you'll do your ATV (and your wallet) a big favor by following these five general procedures with a frequency that makes sense for the conditions and duration you ride.

1. Proper Tire Pressure Air pressure is a huge factor in how your ATV rides. Too little pressure produces heavy steering and unpredictable handling. Too much means accelerated tire wear and a rough ride. Only one PSI can make a significant difference. Always check all four tires before each ride and adjust the pressure as needed. It's so quick and easy to pull the air filter, rinse/wash it with filter cleaner, blow it dry, treat with filter oil, and reinstall, that you should do so once a month and after every dusty ride. Tip: For extra engine protection in dusty conditions, use a genuine Arctic Cat prefilter. 3. Oil and Filter Changing the oil and filter on your ATV once a year (more if you're riding hard in the heat) will keep your ATV engine fresh and healthy. For the best results, use the new, specially formulated synthetic oil from Arctic Cat. Are you riding in mud and water? Water condenses when a hot front differential (on 4x4 ATVs) and rear gear case contact with cold water or mud, contaminating the oil.

Dip a clean, clear plastic zip-tie into the inspection plughole, and then check the oil. If it's milky, drain it and refill it. 5. Boot and Bellows Check Inspect the rubber CV boots on each wheel and the rubber vent bellows on the front differential (4x4 models) and rear gear case. If they're torn, replace them before riding or risk an expensive repair bill. Technicians also recommend using a high pressure washer, like those at self-service car washes, to spray the layer of dirt from your ATV, making sure to clean all dirt and debris from the radiator (on liquid-cooled models) and the engine/engine head (on air/oil-cooled models). Spray both sides of the two front brake discs and the single rear disc. Tip: After spraying each side of each disc, roll the ATV forward to expose the portion shielded by the brake pads, then spray again. With a little preventative maintenance, you'll be ready for the trail every time without costly repair bills. Courtesy of ARA Content
