About Accessories
Beyond the parts that bolt onto a UTV or ATV, owners need the fluids, cleaners and gear that keep it running and get it to the trail. This section covers fluids and lubricants, cleaning products, tie-downs, tools and general-purpose gear.
The three sub-categories divide the job. Chemicals & Lube is for oils, greases and other fluids, Cleaning & Detailing is for cleaning products, and Misc. Accessories holds the rest. The key rule for fluids is to follow your manual. Engine oil, differential and front-drive fluid, chaincase oil and fork oil are different products, and two-stroke and four-stroke oils are not interchangeable.
Brands in this section include Fox, Sedona, Woody's, Vortex and Atlantis. This is a group inside UTV | ATV. For model-specific parts, pick your machine in the Ride Finder at the top of the page; fluids, cleaners and general gear do not depend on the model in the same way, so always match the specification in your manual.
FAQs on UTV and ATV fluids, tie-downs and shop supplies
What oil does my UTV or ATV need?
Your owner's manual states the oil viscosity, such as 10W-40, and the specification the engine requires. Use that rather than a general guess, and use a type made for powersports if the manual says the engine and transmission share oil. Fill to the level the manual shows.
Can I use engine oil in the differential or front drive?
No. Differentials, front drives and chaincases use their own gear or drive fluid, and the type is set by the maker. Engine oil is a different product. Check the manual for each, because many machines use different fluids at each point.
Can I mix two-stroke and four-stroke oil?
No. Two-stroke oil is made to burn with the fuel and four-stroke oil is made to lubricate for a long time in the sump. Use only what your engine calls for. Two-stroke machines may use premix or an injection system, so follow the manual.
How do I secure a UTV or ATV for hauling?
Use strong tie-downs rated for the load, and attach them to the frame or the machine's designated tie-down points, not to plastic panels or moving parts. Put tension on all four corners, and check the straps after the first few miles of the trip.
Is a small battery charger good enough for a UTV or ATV?
A low-amp charger is fine for keeping a battery topped up between rides, but it charges slowly. Check that the charger suits your battery type and size, and follow the battery maker's instructions on charge rate.
