Gearbox oil
What oil should I use in my gear box?
Do I need to buy specialist expensive stuff or can I get away with a a car oil product? |
oil
I've used ATF for the past few years. So far so good .I like the way the clutch feels/works with the ATF

I use Amsoil 0W40 and am happy with it. |
You'll get almost as many responses as riders.
I use Rotella with 20% ATF. But I have a Rekluse and that combo has given me the best results on 5 bikes. |

I've tried motul transoil, motul transoil expert, gro synth, castrol mtx, motul 7100, castrol ATF, silkolene synth gear oil, delo 400, bp farm oil and belray gear saver in my 2011 and 13 300s.
For me castrol mtx has the least squawk and longest good feel at the lever and easiest to find neutral. It's also well priced in Australia. Mobil took castrol (bp) to court and won over what they were calling synthetic, mtx is now labelled semi synthetic. All IMHO, and oils are different place to place. Hope tat gives some sort of insight. |
Shell Rotella T6 full synth 5w40. $22/gal

trans oil
I've used Castrol full synth. 5w40, worked good for me. But I only use it because it's what I had available at my shop = free. Otherwise I would try an inexpensive 5w40 motor oil, or in the past I have used the Honda oils 2 stroke gear lube with good results.
You should be changing your gearbox every 2 rides at most- at least that's what I do, so I feel no need to spend a lot on oil, just keep it fresh |
I have always used put online gp10 gear oil, it works fine when it's warm. Bloody hard work when it's cold. Finding neutrel may as well turn it off and select with your hand.
Tonight I've picked up some ATF, never used it before, but I don't have any gp10 in. How much does everyone put in? I always put 1ltr in, but I'm been told it should be 800ml? |
