Before You Service the Engine
Routine engine maintenance on the 1998 Yamaha Big Bear 2x4 350 calls for the correct lubricant and a careful check of the level after refilling. Before removing the drain plug, identify the correct refill and level-check procedure; a published capacity does not necessarily equal the amount needed after a routine drain.
What oil does a 1998 Yamaha Big Bear 2x4 350 take?
The engine-oil viscosity shown for this model is 10W-40. The available oil-product listings include 10W-40 Synthetic ATV/UTV Engine Oil, 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 1998 Yamaha Big Bear 2x4 350 take?
The available engine-oil capacity figure is 2.96 quarts. The amount added during a routine drain may differ from the listed capacity; use the correct level-check procedure when refilling.
Why does four-stroke engine oil need the right application rating?
Engine oils differ in additive packages and friction characteristics. Some powersports engines share oil with a wet clutch or transmission, so matching the manufacturer’s oil requirements matters in addition to viscosity. This listing does not by itself confirm the clutch design.
