DA SHEE Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 You can get blue Ray from Rocky mountain atv.com. That is all me and my buds have ever used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004LEBanshee Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I used to run it. Its good stuff ran 80wt. I switched to honda HP 80. Same stuff but cheaper. Didnt see the sense in paying more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 You DO NOT want to run the 80W-90. It is a hypoid gear oil. It is ment to be used in differentials, not transmissions. It would be to thick and could cause your clutch to slip. Some gear oils have a friction modifire added for posi track or limited slip diffs. The stuff you want is like the stuff your uncle found. It will be just straight 75W, 80W, or 85W. It will say on the back of the bottle that it is for 2 stroke transmissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamRealtreeHD Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Yea, you don't want the hiplois gear oil... you want the motorcycle/2 stroke transmission oil. Both have gearsaver on the bottole. I run 85 wt... takes longer to break down to a lighter fluid in hot weather (like I ride in)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
