10w40 ok for gear oil?


Recommended Posts

Just make sure you don't use motor oil that has the EPA energy conserving label on it.

 

Those contain friction modifiers that will not make your clutch real happy.

 

If the oil is designed for a motorcycle it will work fine in the tranny.

 

Diesel engine oil is great too. A lot of crotch rocket guys use that because it holds up and yields better oil analysis results than some of the leading motorcycle oils out there.

 

Good luck

I'm one of those "crotch rocket" guys.... :thumbsup:

I use the Shell Rotella T Synthetic 5w40 in everything. ZX10r Kawi, Banshee, Blaster, RV, Toyota p/u, SE-r.
