I've been looking into running synthetic or a blend in my 700 now from my understanding the 700 pioneer is the same engine/tranny as the rincon and when I looked up the 2013 rincons oils it says you can use a synthetic blend so unless something has changed couldn't I use the same oil for the pioneer

I will check with my local dealer tom he's not open today also how many miles you doing with synthetic , we put a lot of miles on our machine around here you can easily put 200 miles on it in a day since we have a crap load of trails and street driving

I'm still doing changes at the recommended intervals (600 miles). That gets pretty expensive for you if you're putting on 200 miles a ride but hey you got to pay to play. It's really too bad they don't sell that Honda synthetic in bulk.

Yeah it would be nice if they sold it in bulk and I'll just change it at the regular intervals its still less expensive than a new engine lol

I was shopping around some other brands and looks like around 8-10 bucks is the going rate for synthetic oil of any brand. Dang.
