i personally use 75w90 synthetic in my hammerhead but i would think 80w90 would work fine. i don't know how much the carbide holds though. there are others on here with that buggy that will tell you.

Down load the helix service manuals at the top of this page both machines use the same engine.

Only four ounces? It seems like that wouldn't be enough to fill the gearbox.

On a separate but related note, does anyone know the oil cooler/filter size for the Carbide? I don't see anything listed in the manual, or the pdf online...

Cheers! Happy Spring!
