Smokestack Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 ATF? Thats alot thinner than the manual states. What would the benefit be from that? Some extra HP maybe? Just wondering as im a noob and getting ready to change mine. Just never thought of that before. I dont wanna run the lifespan short for a few HP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it saying that you can use anything without a friction modifier. API or somthing like that. I have heard people reccomed Shell Rotella from Wal-Mart as a good oil instead of 10-40 yamalube. Has anyone ran this. I also hear the argument that oil is oil use anything and change it often.

I might just use ATF for the first change I don't understand what the advantage of ATF would be, but it seems logical since it is in a clutch/shift mechanism. What are the advantages to ATF over regular 10-40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
