Oil Type:
* SAE Viscosity: The recommended viscosity for your Raptor 660 is 10W-40 for most temperatures. However, consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations based on your climate and riding conditions.
* API Classification: Look for an oil that meets the API SL or SM standards for 4-stroke motorcycle engines.
Additional Considerations:
* Synthetic vs. Conventional: Synthetic oils generally offer better performance in terms of heat resistance, viscosity stability, and longevity. However, they are typically more expensive. Conventional oils are a more budget-friendly option.
* JASO MA Rating: This rating is important for motorcycle oils because it ensures the oil is compatible with wet clutches. Look for a JASO MA-rated oil.
* Additives: Some oils include additives designed to protect against wear and tear, improve performance, and extend the oil's life.
Specific Oil Recommendations:
* Yamaha Yamalube: Yamaha's own brand of oil is specifically formulated for their motorcycles. You can check their website for specific recommendations for your Raptor 660.
* Other reputable brands: Many reputable oil brands offer excellent motorcycle oils, including Motul, Castrol, Valvoline, and more.
