I talked to Charlie Smith at the RangerTrail factory when I got my 2006 Ranger (he is a very helpful, GREAT Guy). He said to change the oil at the end of each season, factory says to use 50 weight oil, but I like to use 60 weight Amsoil racing oil in mine. Easy to do, just pull wheels off ( I rotate my tires at the end of the season), and remove allen plug and drain the oil. Refill with new oil to line on clear cap, and you are good to go.
