I'm having a real problem finding any 5W-40 that is formulated for ATVs locally, will this Mobile 1 European Car 5W-40 be fine? It's my first oil change on this machine after the break in period.

Any 0,5,10W40 for motorcycles is fine as long as it has the JASO MA2 rating. Mobile1 makes a Good motorcycle Racing 4T oil that you can get at Walmart that has that rating. Not sure the EU car oil does but if it does, t should be OK too. I run Castrol Power1 10W40 4T.

I don't think this Mobile 1 Euro oil has the JASO M2 rating so I'll be returning it, but I think Rotella T6 does even though it says its for diesel engines?

I have been told by pros never use diesel engine oils in gas engines....especially higher RPM motorcycle-type engines. I know many do but...it's not formulated for the types of gasses and contaminates. Can't go wrong with the right oil for the application.     

I know in the motorcycle world that I've been a part of for almost 3 decades is motors that have a wet clutch, avoid using oils that are energy conserving or have friction modifiers. A quick way to check is to look at the circular API symbol on back label. It has a smaller circle in center that shows the weight of the oil. On the lower rocker, if it is blank, it will not be an energy conserving oil or have friction modifiers so generally considered ok to use on wet clutch engines. Not all suitable oils will have the JASO MA/MA2 designation but if there API label is blank on bottom, it has been considered safe. I had used Chevron Deli 400 oils for many years on my Goldwing and had nice smooth shifting. Then they changed the formula and it now had additives that weren't good for the wet clutch. I have now been using Shell Rotella T6 which actually has JASO MA/MA2 certification and also on several weights shows a picture of a motorcycle on the front label. But more importantly, the API label on back shows a blank lower rocker. I like it just as much as the old Deli oil for performance. And these are both considered diesel oils.

Now I will admit my CFMoto knowledge isn't great but the motors are basically motorcycle motors. What I don't know is if they are considered "wet" clutches. I have seen some threads that mention they partially are. If that's the case, I would not hesitate to use the various oils that are free of friction modifiers or not considered energy conserving. A blank lower rocker on the API symbol and I would be fine using it.

Here is what I am talking about. And some more examples.
