Face Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) Just wondering what type of trans oil you all use, and how often you change it. I usually change after each trip to the dunes but someone told me that was overkill? Edited February 19, 2008 by Face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxracing350 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 i use BEL RAY gear saver 75w i change it every 5 rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILO Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 i've been using belray 80 wt gear saver in my shee and nephew's blaster for years. i pretty much change them both every spring, mid summer, and end of summer. depending on how much we ride it may be more. i might get to ride once a week if i'm lucky though. but i always thought that after every ride was way overkill.

Dinner Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I run 15W-40 in my cases. However I'm thinking of switching this year to well, something else that is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayzx10r Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 If it's any help, I used to change it in my RZ350 every 1500 miles..... That would probably be like every 10 years on a Banshee!! :biggrin: So it's once a season for me...but even that is overkill!! I only hit the dunes 5-8 weekends a season.

Face Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks for all the info. looks like i'm spending a lot of mony on oil changes that i dont need to be. I use the gear saver also, but its nice to have some other people tell me that its good stuff. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I run ATF in my 4mil duner and change it every week during the summer when I ride all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screaming Yellow Zonker Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Bel Ray 80wt 2-3 times a year. the type F you have to change more often but more readily available than the Bel Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Maxima 85w endurance two stroke clutch oil. I Change it after 2 weekends of riding. Haven't had a single tranny problem in 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillls Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 change mine after every ride & if its a long weekend in the dunes its every day. i dont think a little preventive maintenance can hurt besides oil is cheep compared to a frozen motor. i dont care what anybody says even the wife when shee sees the bill for the case of oil for the weekend :biggrin: i was also told to run a little over the full mark. like a 1/2" i run yamalube 10w40.

fastbanshee8 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Get a magnetic drain plug, and put it in next time you change the oil. FAST Racing has them. Just some cheap insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
