What type of oil does a 2006 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 Manual 493 take?
The available oil-product listings include Formula 4-Stroke Power Sports Synthetic Motor Oil. For a service, choose oil that meets the engine’s actual application requirements, not just a product name.
How much oil does a 2006 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 characteristics. 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 viscosity.
