spurdy Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 should i use pensoil in my banshee or other oil???? For what? Premix? Tranny case? To lube your chain? Wth? Personally I wouldn't use Pennzoil in my lawnmower but that's just because I grew up on a farm and Pennzoil had a bad name. I use ATF or BelRay in my tranny and I use Klotz for my premix. There are several other oils out there that are excellent. You need to decide what you want. Some run 10w40 in the tranny, some use gear lube, and some run ATF. It's kind of personal preference, you just have to run something suitable for a wet clutch. Premix is another personal preference as is the ratio. Quality fluids is a must in my opinion though, as well as changing them when needed. Like ATF, I have to change it about every two days of hard riding and sometimes everyday.

Snopczynski Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Dont ever use pennzoil in anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prssantana Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I would use a good synthetic designed for quads. Im sure atf works fine but i just feel its worth a couple bucks extra for oil designed specificly for use in a quad. For mixing I use amsoil dominator but there are plenty of good brands.

Don't use penzoil. Go buy some synthetic oil to use in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilBanshee Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 i use 75-90 gear oil of what ever brand, valvoline is what i use, or bel ray. They say its better for your clutch then 10-30. But its a personal prefrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 You guys dont even know if he asking about 2 stroke oil or transmission oil. Before you go making suggestions, you need the answer to that question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Reynolds Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Penzoil is not ideal,or optimal,but for your tranny you could go grab a bottle of the cheapest oil at a gas station,and it would be fine,just most oils are better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I would not use Pennzoil to keep the dust down in my driveway, let alone put it in an engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a little more money for superior protection is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
