2022 Hisun 750 Sector

Just wondering if I forfeit my warranty if I perform the first oil change after break in. Don’t want to transport back to dealer for him to drop the oil and filter. Need to know the facts about that before I decide to do it myself.

Just talked to Hisun and they said I could do the oil changes but to make sure I purchase the Hisun oil filter and use a good quality 10w40 wet clutch motorcycle oil. I new about the oil, but wanted to make sure about the filter. With that said by following that guideline, it won’t void your warranty if something happens during that period. I don’t like not being able to do my own maintenance.

I used Mobil 1 4T-10w-40 when I owned a Coleman (Hisun).  There was a noticeable improvement in the shifter and sound of the machine.

Oil filter was difficult to find.  Finally found one for the 550 on Amazon:

Just happened to notice in my service manual the recommended oil weight is 10W30 and it doesn’t mention synthetic. I’m a firm believer in synthetic oils, seeing I use them in all my vehicles that call for that. I’m going to call Hisun and see what they say. I’ll let you know if your interested and if not no biggy

IIRC, my manual also said 10-30.  Living in Texas (hot summers), I have always believed that stepping up in viscosity never hurts anything.  After 40+ years, I have never had an issue in any of my vehicles or toys.  But ultimately, it's your call.

Don't mean to be a negative nancy, but based on my experience, you will have other issues with your Hisun long before you have issues related to oil viscosity.

Oh no problem, I get it. I’m an Amsoil guy so I understand where your coming from. Buts that’s a whole different animal if you know what I mean. I had added another post about valve adjustment at 20 hours. Do you care to comment. And thanks for your input, I have an opened mind and willing to listen. This is how we all learn the good and bad. Just sorry I wasn’t on this forum earlier, I would have purchased something else for what I read, lol

I never adjusted the valves.  I traded mine for a Kubota after 80 hours.  I did so because I had 3 lab reports run on the oil.  It was eating itself from the inside out.  I dumped it before I got stuck with a boat anchor.  My advice would be that you get the oil analyzed.  I use Blackstone Labs.  They will mail you a collection kit.  You mail it back to them.  You get a report that shows all of the details and he explains what they mean.

Well that’s exciting news, NOT!!! Really not looking forward to that. Maybe if I run 10W30 it won’t happen (lol) just kidding. I’m still wondering if the valves really need to be checked like the book says or it’s just another way to get it in the shop for more revenue. My use for this machine is just to drive it around the neighborhood with the wife. It will probably never see dirt seeing I bought it for her. Don’t see us playing hard but it may not take that either from what I’m reading. We would have got a gas powered golf cart but they can’t make it up the inclines we have in the Georgia mountains

Well, as my aunt always tells me "don't borrow trouble".  You may not have a lemon like I did.   Getting an oil analysis will protect at least some of your investment if it turns out to be a similar situation.  At least you will know that you need to take steps before it completely seizes up.  I wouldn't worry about the valves right now if it were me.  You would know if they were way out of whack.   Engine bogging down.  Loss of power when it warms up. etc.

I hope you have better luck than I did.

2018 Coleman (Hisun) 550.  Bought it at Tractor Supply.  Well equipped.  Nice looking machine.

      Oil change
      By Joe Breaux
      Decided to do an oil change on the Massimo ...drained oil, screen was very clean even tho oil wasn't.  Then went to remove old filter.. holy crap ..I tried every tool I have, could not budge it..Went to store and got one of the end cap type..fit nice and tight, put a 1/2 in drive ratchet on it..nope..not moving.  Put a 18 on breaker bar o. It. The inside of the removal tool broke off!!  Had to weld it back together. Put a pipe on the bar for more leverage.  Finally broke it loose..
      I have never seen a filter in my 55 yrs of working on engines so tight..And i was the one who put it on 2 yrs ago.  JUST HAND TIGHT!

      MSU 700 Oil Burning
      By Chile
      2018 Massimo 700 MSU. The machine started burning oil all of a sudden. One day fine-- next morning burning oil. Looking for advice. Do I pull the engine to inspect the top end or can it be done with the engine in place? Pro? Cons?
      Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated in advance.

      2022 t-boss 760 oil filter
      By Aaron Colona
      Just bought a brand new 760 about a month ago. I'm at 20 hours which the book says is when you need to change the break in oil. 
       
      I must be crazy, but I can't find the oil filter. I've googled a million videos...everything seems to be 2019 or lower...and/or a 550.  They all show the filter easily seen by looking in past the rear passenger tire on the engine. There is absolutely nothing there on mine. 
       
      1.there seems to be very little info if you Google a 760, or anything Massimo newer than like 2019. 
       
      2. Does anyone have a current model year 760 that can answer my riddle for me?
