Why does oil viscosity matter when an ATV engine starts cold?
Oil must flow during startup yet remain suitable at operating temperature. The cold-temperature and hot-temperature ratings describe different conditions; neither alone proves that a product meets all the engine’s specifications.
Does using synthetic oil change the viscosity grade an ATV needs?
No. Synthetic describes how the oil is formulated; it is separate from the SAE viscosity grade. A synthetic oil still needs the appropriate grade and engine-application specifications.
