How much oil does a 2004 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 Manual 493 take?

Why does four-stroke engine oil need the right application rating?
Engine oils vary based on their additive packages and friction properties. Because some powersports engines use the same oil for both the engine and a wet clutch or transmission, it is important to match the manufacturer's specific requirements alongside the correct viscosity. This listing does not confirm your specific clutch design.
