    Honda Big Red OIL Summer/Winter

    What weight of oil are you guys using in your Honda ATC Big Reds?

    Do you change the weight for Summer or Winter?

    Since they were built, oil technology has advanced by light years, so there should be better oils than what the factory originally recommended.

    Thank You in Advance

    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    Down here in Houston, TX, I run 10W40 because of the 5 seasons we experience down here. That being 'Cool, Hot, Super Hot, Hot, then Cool again...'

    I normally run 10w40 Castrol GTX.
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.
