Before You Service the Engine
Maintain your 2008 Yamaha Big Bear 400 400 engine with the correct lubricant and a careful level check after refilling. Follow this machine's specific level-check method and verify that any product you use is suitable for your engine rather than relying solely on a catalog name.
How much oil does a 2008 Yamaha Big Bear 400 400 take?
The engine-oil capacity is listed at 3.17 quarts. Because the amount added during a routine drain may differ from this total, follow the proper level-check procedure when refilling.
Why does four-stroke engine oil need the right application rating?
Engine oils vary by additive packages and friction characteristics. Since some powersports engines use the same oil for both the engine and a wet clutch or transmission, matching the manufacturer's specific requirements is just as important as choosing the right viscosity. This listing does not confirm your specific clutch design.
