I just recently had my 04 450 rebuilt. I need to change the oil. What is the best recomended oil and how much does it take? Thanks for any help.

The honda 10w40 oil. your local 4 wheeler place should have it. just changed mine and it made a good difference in the shifting. Its a little more expensive than regular oil though, almost $17 for a gallon, but it was worth it i think. the capacity is a little over 2 quarts.

What happened to your 04 to have to rebuild it? How many moles and hours did you have on it?

I bought it used and apparently the previous owner had sunk it pretty bad. He had the top end rebuilt and sold it to me. I should have checked it out more. It went down on me again after a little while. I think it had about 850 miles (160 Hours) that may not be exact but close. I had new crank and bearings put in. And top end bored again. It has been in the shop more than i have road it. Lol. I am just trying to take better care of it than the last owner.
