f00pda3w00p Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 85w is pretty thick i use royal purple 10w40 pull drain plug on bottom of case and let alll oil come out replace plug then add 1.25 quarts of oil but if im not right on that double check your dip stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert.b.west Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 1. Place oil pan under quad 2. Remove drain plug located on bottom of motor 3. Let oil drain until it slows to a drip. 4. Replace drain plug 5. Remove dipstick located on right side of engine 6. Pour in oil about 1500 cc. Check with dipstick. When checking oil level do not thread in. 7. Replace dipstick 8. Run for a few minutes 9. Check oil level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotta_goatsfast Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 The viscosity of the oil is higher. Move through rubbing alcohol, and then move through maple syrup. Can you guess which would have a higher viscosity (thicker, so to speak). I run honda's performance trans oil. Some will suggest shit like ATF because it is thinner, but you'll be changing it about every ten hours of use or expect to glaze your clutch plates if you don't. And I have never broken out the torque wrench for my oil plug. I roughly know what it feels like. Make sure it is good and tight.... but there's no need for super hillbilly strength.

sstaton1983 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 i have always run atf (free at work) with no problems. and for torquing the drain plug,i never have neither.use common since and you should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstaten24 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I run gear saver 85w and I've never had an issue. As far as tightening, if u can't get 14ft lbs you have issues haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 the belray stuff is synthetic isnt it? synthetic oil seems to be "thinner" than conventional oil for a given viscosity. I am one of those that run ATF because i am hard on clutches but any good oil designed for a wet clutch will work. royal purple 10w40 does not fall into that category. I would expect clutch problems running something like that. edit- personal preference but i also run 2 quarts to keep the pushrod and ball lubricated.

What will happen if i dont use a torque wrench just common sense??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert.b.west Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Just make sure it is tight enough to stay but don't torque the shit out of it so you strip the threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkblade Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm doing an oil change on my 98 banshee and I was reading the back of a honda HP 80/85 trans oil bottle and it said it had anti friction additives and was wondering would it fuck up my clutch if I used it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I will stop using atf-f. Mine breaks down in less than 3 hours of riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
