2001Stroker Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 problem with atf type f is its viscosity, im not sure exactly what it is, it just says for wet clutches, whereas pay abit more and you have the perfect viscosity, great brand and designed basically especially for your banshee. Are you a Maxima dealer, or something? Why are you pressuring everyone to use what you're using? We all got our favorite oils. They all work.

swrbansheeboy Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 this topic is as bad as what oil to mix your fuel with. everyone has there preferance of case oil and imo everyone is right, i've ran everything from name brand oils (bel ray, maxima, honda, dumonde tech) to not so name brand (atf, hyster hydraulic fluid) and all have worked for me. right now i'm running redline shockproof because of a little story my builder told me, it just happens to be my flavor for the time being. is it the best case oil? probably not, but it is working fine for me. just as all the other brands/atf's and regular motor oils are working for everyone else here. to me the bottom line is that the best case oil is the one thats working for you and keeps you from smoking your clutch & tranny, if your not breaking anything then the oil your using is just fine so theres no need to worry about what anyone else is running because your bikes doing great with whatever your running... i'm just suprised nobody's come in here pushing amsoil yet...lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolguyson Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 AFT kills my clutches. I use Motul in my race bikes, and cheap ol' Honda GN in bulk for the rest of the bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you aware that automatic transmissions are FULL of wet clutches. They look exactly like the clutch we use in bikes. Many late model manual transmissions and transfer cases in automotive aplications also use ATF. I dont see viscosity being an issue. I personally have been using honda for the last couple of years, but know a lot of guys that run ATF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopczynski Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Viscosity The SAE classification indicates the oil viscosity and is referenced by a number that appears in the center of the donut shaped logo. The higher the number, the thicker the oil. Thick oil has a high resistance to flow, which means a high viscosity.
