bansheesickness Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 what are the advantages of atf over 10-30 motor oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I just started running it (instead of high dollar Klotz Flex-Drive). I'd guess that the advantages are price and lower viscosity resulting in decreased drag on the transmission, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Building my First Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) I can see where atf would be great for the clutch, what about gear wear? Edited April 2, 2009 by Building my First Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreak Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I can see where atf would be great for the clutch, what about gear wear? whats a cars trans have?? rubberbands.. they have gears too and they seem to be fine with type f...

swrbansheeboy Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) i know alot of people run atf and have good luck with it but i have to agree with the idea of atf being designed to work with clutches and gears in car transmissions.... i personaly run redline shockproof gear oil, i know it's expensive ($13 a quart) but i know it works well and it coats everything like power punch. it's a bitch to clean up when splitting cases but i know it's doing it's job, plus i can get a full season out of 2 quarts vs. swapping out atf after every ride. i'm not trying to sway anyones ideas of what to run for oil, just stating what i run and why. i actualy used to run gear saver then started running the redline because of a story my builder told me about one of there drag bikes that got re-built and the case never got filled, after several runs they realized that the bike had no oil in it. they were running the redline and nothing got chewed up so that was enough for me to switch and i have had no problems with it since switching. it was hard to go from something i was running that i had no problems with to something else i had nothing more than my builders word that it worked, kinda like going from running "insert your brand of premix here" to running amsoil saber. kind of hard to believe what your hearing is true untill you make the jump and run it for yourself. basicly there are many proven oils to use, you just need to figure out how much you want to spend and how often you want to change them...
