Transmission Oil

[2003Blasterr200]

I want to change the transmission oil in my 2003 Yamaha blaster but I am confused about which oil I should put in it, the manual states SAE 10w30 should be used but other people on this forum say not to use SAE 10w30 and to use ATF, ATF type F, or ideally Motul Transoil 10w30.

Almost all answers are correct. Just don’t use anything higher than SM rating, no friction modifiers. I use Shell Rotella 15-40 diesel

Thank you for answering my question about the transmission oil, but I wanted to ask if Yamalube trans-oil plus gear oil, SAE 20W-40 works because I don't know the SM rating and anything about the friction modifiers.

Friction modifiers is what they put in what’s called “ High Mileage “

That Yamalube will be fine
