Oil Change Fluids and Filters

If your machine is leaking oil, or if it's just time for your scheduled oil change, you can get the Kawasaki Teryx fluids, filters, and oil change kits you need at Everything Kawasaki Offroad. Factory fluids and filters for the Kawasaki Teryx are fine, but they aren't the only game in town. With regards to filters, there are many factors that will determine the effectiveness of an oil or air filter for the Kawasaki Teryx. The type of bypass valved used, the type of media used (i.e. cellulose or synthetic), and the amount of media used will all play a role in the performance of a filter. And although you can't judge a filter by the brand or price, most off-the-shelf filters will work well and protect your rig just fine under normal driving conditions with regular oil change intervals. When you ride your side-by-side for extended periods of time or operate where there can be excessive dirt ingression, then a premium oil filter for the Kawasaki Teryx might be required to protect your machine. Kawasaki isn't an oil filter company, nor does it operate oil refineries. As far as engine oil goes for the Kawasaki Teryx, as long as you change the oil regularly and ensure that it meets or exceeds the manufacturers ratings, you'll be fine with any Amsoil or Rotella T4 15W-40 or synthetic T6 5W40. One of the best oils on the market for the Kawasaki Teryx is Red Line 10w40. It is an ester base oil which doesn't contain paraffin wax like Rotella or Mobil1. If you look at the technical analysis, you'll see that Rotella is made from group 2 and group 2+ base oils. It contains paraffin wax and is not as highly refined as other oils. Red Line, on the other hand, is made from group 5 base oils. Group 5 base oils are Ester based and have no wax in them. They also are more pure than all other base oils. But whatever you prefer to put in your machine, we've got the oil change kits, oils, and filters for any Kawasaki Teryx!

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your Kawasaki Teryx running smoothly, and oil changes are a big part of that. While your machine may give you an indication that it's time for an oil change when the oil light flashes, it's important to follow the scheduled oil change intervals, fluid change intervals, and filter change intervals outlined in the owner's manual rather than relying solely on your machine to tell you. Be sure to also follow the break-in period if you have a new side-by-side, and consider changing your oils, fluids, and filters sooner if you ride in harsh conditions or put your machine through heavy use.

At Everything Kawasaki Offroad, we offer a wide range of products for your Kawasaki Teryx to make maintenance easy and effective. We have run-of-the-mill Kawasaki Teryx oil change kits with the stock-style Kawasaki Teryx oil type, as well as aftermarket Kawasaki Teryx fluids and filters. Our selection includes everything from Kawasaki Teryx brake fluid, transmission fluid, and diff fluid to Kawasaki Teryx fuel filters, oil filters, and air filters. Proper maintenance and upkeep with periodic oil changes, filter changes, and fluid changes are essential to ensuring that your rig treats you well, so make Everything Kawasaki Offroad your go-to source for all your Kawasaki Teryx fluids, oils, and filters.

When it comes to Kawasaki Teryx engine oil, there are many options available. Some riders use Pennzoil, while others prefer products like Maxima 10W-40, Mobil 1 V-Twin Full Synthetic, or Rotella T6 5W-40. During the break-in period, it's advised that you use mineral oil. After 25-30 hours of use, you can pretty much use any oil that you want so long as you change it often and it's JASO MA / JASO MA2 rated. While some riders look to the 4-ball wear test when researching oil for the Kawasaki Teryx, it's important to note that this protocol is primarily used for testing greases in the lubricants industry and doesn't simulate the action that occurs in a Kawasaki Teryx engine. Kawasaki Teryx oils with proper HTHS ratings will minimize wear, but some manufacturers add excessive amounts of zinc to their oils, which can harm the catalytic converter and emission control systems. Whether you choose Castrol 10-40 4t oil for your Teryx 4 or SAE 10W-40 Motorcycle oil by Amsoil for your Kawasaki Teryx KRX, Everything Kawasaki Offroad has you covered.

In addition to engine oil, your Kawasaki Teryx will also require gear oil when servicing the machine. This includes Kawasaki Teryx transmission fluid and Kawasaki Teryx diff fluid. For the differentials, the front has an electric diff lock, which requires 80W-90 hydraulic fluid, while the Kawasaki Teryx rear differential fluid must be of the wet brake variety. Maxima makes high-quality Kawasaki Teryx 4 transmission fluids that use friction-controlling additives and anti-wear agents to prevent wear and stop rust and corrosion. Check out all the high-performance transmission and gear case oils designed for modern side-by-sides like the Kawasaki Teryx at Everything Kawasaki Offroad.

Finally, don't forget about the other oils, fluids, and lubricants that UTVs require, such as Kawasaki Teryx brake fluid, radiator fluid, and chain lube. Everything Kawasaki Offroad carries all of these and more, as well as related products such as Kawasaki Teryx oil pressure sensors, Kawasaki Teryx oil filter wrenches, and complete Kawasaki Teryx service kits. Save time and hassle by shopping at Everything Kawasaki Offroad to get all your Kawasaki Teryx oils, filters, and fluids in one place.
