WHAT TRANS OIL????

[oldskooolracer]

I need to fill my trans and i'm seeing who suggests what.


i'm looking to go cheap but not stupid cheap and screw something up.

 

[blasterboy91]

i use just regular 10w-30

i've heard so many other things like 50 weight oil and wet clutch oil.

 

[blasterboy91]

your trans oil is the same oil that makes your clutch lubracated

the yfz is the only quad that doesnt mix the trans oil with the clutch oil

if that makes sence

I just changed mine with Motul Transoil 10w30

 

[blasterboy91]

there ya go

 

[oldskool0317]

WHERE DO YOU GET THAT STUFF???

SO IT'S NOT JUST NORMAL 10W30 MOTOR OIL?

 

[dharbeck]

I use valvoline durablend 10w30 and have never had a problem.

 

[mud2sno]

Motul transoil 10w30 is transmission 2 stroke oil, and I can pick it up at local bike shop

 

[bigdblaster]

i use belray gearsaver 85w does 10w/30 work.and how well does it work i just cant see it working as good as a transoil idk ..

 

[dharbeck]

10w 30 is the recommended weight by Yamaha. It is supposed to be 10w30.

 

[oldskool0317]

what about adding some LUCAS to it also????


so some basic 10w30 motor oil synthetic or blend would work fine????

I think this has been said before, but, do not use automotive grade trans oil, knowing that makes it easier and less confusing, i guess

and I run 10w 30 trans oil...........and I need to get my hands on some yamalube!

 

[oldskool0317]

sh*t, that yamalube is 9.00 a quart ouch.

 

[madmikeracing22]

will normal 10w-30 oil work like the kind you buy at a gas station?

 

[Darrell]

if its suposed to me 10w-30 why the hell is my local yamaha dealer selling me 85w gear saver? iv been runnning it though and havent seen any differnces, so it must not be to bad! but it is probally better in the summer when its alot hotter!

 

[blasterman312]

will normal 10w-30 oil work like the kind you buy at a gas station?

this is what I'm talking about, that oil is mainly for automotive engines, not wet-clutched engines(quads), I think it is very important to get the right stuff, I've you ask me......

 

[suprex]

you won't notice a difference with regular oil, UNTIL your clutch stops working.

so, use WET-CLUTCH oil....

do not use oil with detergents or friction modifiers.

i use royal purple 10w30 (designed for wet-clutch)

and YES 10w30 is what yamaha recommends.

but, to each his own.... so good luck.

 

[blasterman312]

thanks, I was trying my dardest to say something that would make sense

ive always used honda hp 80/85w trans oil, ive never had a problem with it and use it in my yz 250 also. i wonse tried supertech 75w-140 gear oil from wal mart cus i was desperate for the weekend and my clutch on my 250 felt like garbage when hot, but soon as i changed it all is good.
