Banshee0028 Posted November 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Anyone else heard of this? I hear that using regular automotive trany oil will eventualy wear down your clutch and tranny because it lacks an additive that 2-stroke tranny oil contains. I am thinking about using Motul transoil 10w30 since 10w30 is actually what Yamaha recommends, and Motul is a Good brand! Is there any diff in Motul transoil 10w30 and regualr Castrol 10w30 motor oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001SSTBanshee Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Yeah, the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowpokebanshee Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 I have tried Mobil one synthetic oil 5-30 and it was great while it was cold, but as soon as it got up to operating temp....poppin out of gear, can't find neutral, doesn't shift as smooth.....so I switched back to regular motor oil, it was a little better, so I started changing it every ride....after about the fifth oil change, I could say it was almost back to normal.that was on my last bike, now that I have a new Banshee, I won't make that same mistake...all of the locals here in my town recommend Mobil one synthetic ATF... and change it about once a season...I may try that after it is broke in a bit more. good luck as said before there are hundreds of options.and opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee0028 Posted November 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Thanks for all the replys...I think I will use either Motul 10w 30 or regular Castrol 10w 30 for now .... Then, after a while I might look into the ATF ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
