Oil type for 2016 Pioneer 1000-5 deluxe

[WagBag]

Hi, I’m new to this forum and new to the SxS world. I recently bought a 2016 Pioneer 1000-5 deluxe and trying to figure out a few things for maintenance.

I’m wondering if I should use what the owners manual recommends for oil or is it better, since it’s older, to use a synthetic oil with the same weight? It has around 4,600 miles.

Also, any recommendations for oil change kits on Amazon?

Thanks

You'll get a hundred opinions on the best oil. Just make sure it's Jaso rated.

Oil and tires are going to get you many opinions. You need to use a wet clutch oil but otherwise it’s really up to your preference…and many will swear by dino oil with many others swearing by synthetic.

Since you asked and just my opinion......
I only use OEM filters, I usually order them 3 or 4 at a time so I always have some on hand. For oil I use Shell Rotella T6 synthetic, 5W-40, it's JASO MA2 certified for a wet clutch

Regardless of what flavor you choose make sure it's JASO MA or MA2 spec

I agree with 906UP. I also use OEM filters and Rotella T6 5W40 with no issues in 6500 miles since I converted over from Honda oil.

OEM filters and oil weight of 40 since you're in AZ.

Nothing was said about any updates. How do I check for these?

Not sure what pics to post or rule #4?

Use the search up top for 16’ recalls/updates and read on. You can call your local Honda dealer with your vin and they can tell u whats been done. There is also a way to check to see if the clutch update was done. It was a campaign that has expired tho.

As for pics, any pics of your machine will do! Its proof u have a rig and it helps us understand what you have. Plus were imagination deficient so Post em up!

heres a way to see if u have had the clutch update on that rig. Again the search bar up too is your friend.
