[danstafford]

I heard that rotella a good oil for my clutch if so what weight

 

[blasterdemon7]

Never heard of it. A lot of people run automotive transmission fluid type F.

^^^ yeah, rotella is a Shell product. theres a few guys that use it. 10w30 would be my guess. me, myself, i dont use motor oil. i use what B7 said, ATF Type F. its made for wet clutches. the color makes for easy recognition in contamination determinations and its lightweight, which means less mass to slow down moving components. ive used it for 20+ years in all my rides where a wet clutch is present.

hmmmm i use bel ray 80-90. someone put 15-40 in it once and it slipped like a bastard.

I switched to Rotella on my YFZ this year after doing a ton of research. However, I wouldn't recomend for blasters. Stick with the ATF stuff like the guys suggest above ^^^^^.

 

[super noober]

ive used it and its great, get the kind for diesel motors, its like 15w 40 or something

hmmmm i use bel ray 80-90. someone put 15-40 in it once and it slipped like a bastard.

Could you clarify which product you use? The 80w-90 is a Hypoid oil. Also comes in 85w-140!

The gear saver transmission one comes as only 75w and 80w.
