I've got a quick oil question. I went to the auto supply place, and the only 15w40 synth they have is heavy duty, for diesel engines. There was quite a bit of debate in the shop weather 10w40 synth atv oil would be ok, or if the 15w40 synth heavy duty would work?

So far I've just bought generic 15w40 from crappy tire. Does the heavy duty 15w40 synthetic work?

Also, why is it that these chinese ATVs call for 15w40, when all the ATV oil at crappy tire and the local shop is 10w40?

Thanks!
