Gearbox oil

[egesledder]

I've run Rotella 15W-40 in my '99 for well over 1000 hours of hard rocky-mountain abuse (hour long hill climbs kind of thing). Transmission internals looked spotless and the bearings all felt great last week when I had it all apart. The clutch grabs a bit more when its cold, but otherwise it works flawlessly.

I've tried Motul 300V, 7100, 5100, motorex . The conclusion is the same as in my former pumpkin, Motul 5100 10/40 is my choice as it not only smothers the gear change but also reduces the squawk to almost zero. It was the only oil that prevented missing shifting from 2nd to 1st on the katoom and therefore bailing me out on some nasty up hills . With the GG I found it to reduce the squawk to almost zero after the 2nd oil change of using 5100.

I run 10-30 & 15-40 diesel oil in everything with out catalytic converters. Street bike, dirt bike, quad, mini bikes, lawn mowers, classic car and diesel trucks. I've been doing this for over 13yrs with great success.

I made the switch to Shell Rotella T last year. Much less expensive on the pocket book and works great. I have been buying the 18.9 liter pales on sale for $3.00 a liter.

Where are you getting them?

[Simmo737]

All our deisel oils in oz seemed to have moved to the "ultra" standard with more moly, delo and rimula ( rotella) have gone to the new standard, bp farm oil is non ultra but wasn't real good in the gasser, works great in 4ts though.

What's the capacity in an 01 EC200? 1L as well?

Lol, I was hoping someone would pick up on that question I've been putting 800ml in since being told that was the recommended amount, but never had it validated

900ml will work!

[KTMAndy]

Lol, but what should it be, I've now been told anything from 800ml to a litre?
