I have a 2011 Joyner Trooper and just changed my original oil and transmission lube to Royal Purple. Has anyone else done this and what kind of luck have you had? My trooper only has 50 miles on it and I love the way it looks and runs. My main use is at the deer lease although I would like to go muddin sometime.

Thanks

If I used the high end stuff I would break the bank. I believe quantity is more important than quality on these machines. So far, everytime I have changed my diff and engine oils there has been sludge. No isssues on the tranny oil. Royal purple is great stuff though.

Charlie, how much fluid did you put in transmission? Is it atf or 75w-90 gear oil? I want to do royal purple in everything on trooper since i don't change fluids often here except for engine oil and filter.

Also how often do you all change oil in engine? In my truck i do 3k miles and on my prius i do every 10k miles,

My point is not all engine have same service intervals, my trooper have only 1100 miles now and i changed my oil when i got the trooper at 150 miles

I use 70-140 Royal Purple gear oil in both the differentials and the transmission. I use Mobile1 15w50 synthetic oil in th engine. I would change the oil in the diffs at 1000 km and then every 2500 km and the transmission at 2500 and then every 5000. The engine I'll change about 1000 km. My engine puts out 121 hp so I want to be extra conservative with it. The diffs seem to develope a lot of shinny particles in them so I think keeping them fresh is good. The upgraded diffs do have less contamination of the oil. The heavier oil is not going to hurt anything except maybe a bit of efficiency. With things not running as clean as our typical cars do, I rather have the extra cushion of the thicker oil. I also ride in the desert climate a lot and it can get real hot out. The thicker oil is going to help in the heat and that is why I run the 15w50 oil in the engine. This may be right or wrong but it is what I feel is the right thing to do. fI fill the diffs and transmission until it flows out of the fill hole.

If your really sharp, you'll follow my lead of what I did once on my truck. I got at least $30 worth of oil in the engine before I realized that I didn't put in the drain plug. My ADD catches up with me every now and then. Hard telling what kind of truuble I could get into if my wife didn't keep a good eye on me.

I did the 75-90w of royal purple in the tranny been in it now for about 300 miles or do no issues I plan on changing it around a thousand miles just for the hell of it. I plan on changing the oil every 1000 to 1500 that's what I did with my custom bike that sat and got played with like the trooper I'd rather be safe than sorry as far as my diffs go front I have had Lucas in since first 100 miles rear as well

I had a test printed out about 5 years ago on Royal Purple and a number of other oils. Because of my high performance motorcycles, I was very interested in quality oils. Royal Purple ranked low on a number of factors. I have the info back home in Canada and out of reach, but I do remember that Amsoil synthetic ended up being my choice.

I called up royal purple and asked for their sae/api certification ratings they said no they don't have any because it exceed the ratings so it shouldn't be labeled or tested at all.

Makes me wonder

Tinman got it right amsoil is the choice of semi truck fleet and taxi cabs fleet due to prolonged service intervals capable,

Amsoil also claim to make better air filter than k&n because it's a dry filter and only need be vacuumed to be cleaned.

      Im New here but just got my Uforce Fitted for Hunting Season

      Now that I have done the LI-Ion batt conversion, I need to do something about the suspension
      By Kingfish
      The conversion took about 350lbs. off the vehicle.  It never rode great, but now I feel every  crack in the road.  I have backed off spring compression nut to the point just under where they would move around if suspension was at full extension, but it is still very stiff.  I would like to put some softer coilover springs on it, but I have no idea what the spring rate is with the original springs so I would just be guessing on what to order.  Does anyone have the data for the original spring compression rate?  I am willing to give up a little ground clearance for a softer ride. Right now when sitting still the rear suspension is at or near full extension and the rear tires have several degrees of camber which will cause uneven wear if allowed to continue in this state.

      TBoss 760 Dip Stick and oil?
      By Charles Hamilton
      **Disclaimer: Yes, I know Polaris and Kawasaki are SOOO much more better, reliable, retain their value, not made in China, etc. I need a UTV and don't have the money or financing for one of those units, so let's keep this discussion productive please**
      Hi all, learning about my new T-Boss 760 from TSC, and am trying to find the actual dip stick to check the oil, funnily enough.
      Does anyone have a picture of it or something? It's crazy that I can't find it...yet here I am.
      Also - any advice on oil? Manual says 15W/40 "SJ" but I'm told the SJ spec doesn't exist anymore.
      Gentleman at TSC said to use any 15W/40, but I'm very nervous about causing an issue this early on by using the wrong oil.
      Anyone have advice?
      Thanks!

      2022 Coleman outfitter 500 had a loud snap then a metallic grinding noise
      By Browner010
      Recently I had an overheating issue on my 2022 Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun UT550) and to check to make sure it was fixed I took it out for a ride around the block. After a couple cycles on the LED coolant meter, I took it for a couple mile ride and on my way back I heard a loud metallic snap then a grinding noise. It was still able to move under its own power but very slowly. I was about 2 blocks from the truck so 'I limped it home and up onto the trailer. I know I need to tear it apart and look for what broke, but anyone have a guess as to where to start? I'm seriously getting tired of this damn machine! 750 miles on it and already replaced the belt, wet clutch, primary clutch, clutch roller weights among a few other things. Seriously, this friggin machine has spent more time on the lift than on the road. I thought I bought this new because it was from the owner of a tractor supply, but he registered it under the stores name making me the 2nd owner voiding any and all warranties.
      Any Ideas what to look for would be appreciated.
      Thanks

      2011 Hisun HS 700 Parts
      By Quentin Walker
      Hi all. I am in dire need of some help. Through our university, we are competing in the Baja SAE competition. It is a collegiate engineering design competition to design and manufacture an off road dune buddy.
      To cut to the chase, we were donated a 2011 Hisun HS 700 UTV, and we are using suspension and drivetrain parts off of it in our design. I am in the process of ordering new parts, but I am coming to a standstill.
      Does anyone have any experience ordering parts for these machine?
      From what I have found online, these machine were sold by Tractor Supply, along with a few different brands that share the same parts (Supermach, Coleman, Massimo, etc.)
      Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
