jbooker82 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 That 20-40 oil might be a little thick. You wont have a problem with it causing your clutch to slip because it probably is designed for a wet clutch system. I think that the shifting wouldnt be as good do to the heavyness of the oil. Bel Ray 80w oil realy isnt an 80w oil. When you get a quart of bel ray next time shake the 20-40 then shake the quart of bel ray 80w. The 20-40 engine oil will feel way stiffer and thicker. I would just keep running Bel Ray Gear Saver if it was me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satsol67 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I think the key to it is picking one that you like and stick with it. I use belray as well. just my O2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I run Rotella 85w in my tranny no problems here :thumbsup: You use Rotella 85w as in 80w-90 gear oil for automobiel rear axles? That stuff is way thick. I bet if you switched to Belray 80w gear saver oil you would never go back. It really isnt an 80w weight oil. When you shake the jug it feels a litter thicker than ATF.
