ckylesworld1 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I want to change the oil in my 99 banshee I just bought. What is the recommended oil for it? I read that it takes a little under 2qts. I watched some youtube videos and saw all kinds of diffrent recommendations. I trust what the HQ says a lot more than youtube lol Also doing a compression check when gauge gets here. Is there any thing else I should do since I just bought it as far as maintenance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckylesworld1 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Takes 1.5L of oil. There are many options, 10w30 (without friction modifiers) ATF Type F, Belray Gearsaver, 15W40 T5, etc. Some say ATF will cause pitting of the gears. Just keep the oil clean and really, all should be fine. I like Belray personally. Thank you! On the Bel ray, what weight do you use? I found this http://www.belray.com/bel-ray-gear-saver-transmission-oil it has 75w and 80w Edited May 2, 2017 by ckylesworld1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckylesworld1 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I used both, which ever the local dealer has. Normally try the 80W Great. Im going to order some. Is this the correct stuff? https://www.jakewilson.com/p/4835/-/2344/Bel-Ray-Gear-Saver-Transmission-Oil-80W-1-Liter?gclid=CjwKEAjw3KDIBRCz0KvZlJ7k4TgSJABDqOK7rHR8Ae7YLdIrzw-i1E67TaLE4-zBSQu3COl_W1fkAxoCKWXw_wcB Also what about coolant? How much does it take and does it use regular antifreeze? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schweet97Z Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Klotz Flex Drive 30 here. Green coolant mixed with distilled water. I have also used engine ice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns4children Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I also use bell ray. Anyone ever run the red line gear oil? I run it in the Harley and love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Everybody has their own opinion. But IMO, what matters most is that it is a quality product suitable for wet clutch use. If you would prefer to just run cheap ATF or 10w30, remember to change it more frequently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
