Jgspahn Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I've heard of folks doing this. Sounds like a good idea to me. Any specific type to use? Any down side to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jgspahn Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Im really just trying to find out if there is a better solution than just 10 30. If it really doesn't make a difference, cool, but ive spent good money on my motor and I want the best for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transmission Fluid is fine, so is 10w-30.The Transmission fluid will require a change more often than the oil, but IMO, shifts smoother. Some will argue the ATF causes "creep" , but thats never been an issue for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also said the tranny fluid stinks (insert joke). The only motor oil for wet clutches (which I assume is what Im supposed to buy) around here is the kawasaki stuff.

Blazen582 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 we need to make the SEARCH bar bigger on this site! Someone starts this post every week with the same question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Ive run it since forever it seems. Im a bit lazier on changing it than most. It does discolor faster. I tend to use the clutch aggressively in the sand and clutches last far longer than using other oil which is why i changed to it in the first place.

Jgspahn Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 we need to make the SEARCH bar bigger on this site! Someone starts this post every week with the same question! Well I used the search bar, and relayed the information I found. In case you missed it I said : I searched some old posts and folks were running 80-90?? They also said the tranny fluid stinks (insert joke). The problem is (which i understand is prolly not fixable) that alot of the previous topics dont come to a consensus conclusion. I sometimes end up with more questions than answers when I read older topics. I realize there are different strokes for different folks, and its hard to come to one answer when there are hundreds of opinions out there. Im well versed in this website, and I read it religously, and I also usually use the search bar as much as I can before I make a post. And hey, as long as there are discussions the site is active.. I dont see what the big deal is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually change it once a month during the spring summer and fall months.. just to have an excuse to go to the shop and tinker with stuff.

Larry's Shee Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 When a consensus is reached, those that use two of the three options will be gone. There is also hydrolic fluid that is wet clutch compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
