The 1997 Yamaha Kodiak typically uses Yamaha's specified transmission oil, which is a 10W-30 or 10W-40 motor oil or a similar quality oil meeting JASO MA specifications. It's important to consult the owner's manual for exact specifications and recommendations. Using the correct oil ensures optimal performance and protection for the transmission components.
No, the oil in a Yamaha Kodiak 400 does not go to the transmission. The Kodiak 400 has a separate engine oil system and a separate transmission fluid system. The engine oil lubricates the engine components, while the transmission uses its own specific fluid for proper operation. It's important to maintain both systems independently for optimal performance.
