I have a 2004 Kx85 and its low on transmission oil. I heard you can use dexcon type automatic transmission fluid you use in a truck in the gear case for a dirtbike? Anyone verify this i need to go ride.
Does not protain to a blaster but i need some help.

Yeah i hope you can,i dont feel like driving 1 hour there and back to buy some gear oil. When i got some automatic car tranny fluid in my garage.
no you cant..
dexcon 3 and all other red tranny oils have additives to help reduce friction.
if you use it in your dirt bike the clutch will slip because it has a wet clutch which means its soaked in oil.
you can use car 10W30 SE type oil.
don't give people sh*tty advices that will do more bad then good.

So any 10W30 SE oil will work fine? Thank you for helping me out,prevented me from having to drive almost an hour there and back to pay a rediculous price for oil.
Sick how much do you think it should take? I got half a bottle of penzoil 10W30 SE oil here.
i dont know what oil's you have there becuase i dont live in the US,i think the KX85 has 850ML of transmisson oil if i was you i would just replace the oil becuase its better not to mix 2 diffrent oils that are not from the same company.
That autozone or advanced auto parts and wallmart does not carry.
Maybe your talking about SAE?
SAE is society of automotive engineers,SAE established a numerical code system for grading motor oils according to their kinematic viscosity.
like 10W-30 the W means winter,the viscosity is 10 when its cold and 30 when it worms up.
what does SE mean?
The American Petroleum Institute - Service Classification System, is used to classify the oil for a product in a manufacturing year and indicates the oils performance in the areas of oxidization, sludging, foaming, temperature range etc. Classification S is for gasoline engines, C is for diesel. As the years roll on and oil quality and specification improves, so the second letter of the classification changes alphabetically. SE is a now obsolete, the latest itieration is SM. SE through to SM oils can be used in an SE classified engine, SE through to SL oils cannot be used in a SM classified engine.

since you know about oils..
would it be ok to run the same yamalube 2-m or 2-w (i believe)run in my outboard motor for my boat in my quad??
Yamalube 2W has a large amount of metallic additives for the constantly changing rpms on a jet ski/jet boats.
i would not recommended using it in your quad.
