[miks]

Hi, I am thinking of changing the oil in the gearbox of my blaster, but i am unsure what oil to put back in, what is the best oil recommended for the gear box of my blaster

A lot of people use type F transmission fluid. I use it too.

search! I use amzoil. just make sure the oil you use is wet clutch compatable.

Plain old 10w30 engine oil with no friction modifiers or ATF type F.

Put only 650ml in no more no less.

The service manual recommends 10w-30 type SE or below. This is to make sure that it has no "friction modifiers" (sulfur and phosphorus compounds) which can gum up the wet clutch or cause the fibers to swell (seen both happen!)

Personally, I defy the book here and use standard Automatic Transmission Fluid. The stuff that goes in just about every slush box around... It's dyed red for EASY identification through the sight glass when it's fouled and relatively inexpensive ($4 USD a quart).

As Blaaster said, you need 650 mL. No more and no less.
