crustydemon Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Just wondering if I was running type F and wanted to switch to a regular oil or gearsaver should I do it since the frictions have already absorbed the type F or should this not be a problem?

I have heard that you bring engine up to operating temp. and turn it off drain fluid. Refill with new fluid repeat first two steps and refill again with new fluid and start ripping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crustydemon Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I'm just having second thoughts on how well its protecting the tranny. I also dont want to change it that often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 well, the wonderfull thing about atf, is that it is a high detergent oil that mixes well with other oils. just change it and change after the first and third rides....

TwistedSheeRida Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Thats exactly why i love my amsoil 10w 40. I change it every 20-25 hours and it still looks good then. And it performs so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheefreak Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Probably the busiest guy in the tranny business suggests Type F and to change it often. It is really not a good idea to run any oil too long in the tranny. It is not a filtered system. Bewteen the vented crankcase and constantly degrading clutch you don't want to run any oil too long regardless of the quality. To me you are just wasting more money by running the high dollar stuff. I have run the same override for going on 4 seasons now abusing the hell out of it w/Type F w/no problems and a fatter wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
