trans/gear oil help

[03crawldaddy]

I don't like type f either, or any atf in a transmission like this unless it calls for it. I try to run a quality oil in all my stuff. we normally have a lot of synthetic 15w-40 or 5w-40 around cause that's what we run in all the trucks. Some people say not to use synthetics in these cause it will make the clutches no good and slip, but I've never had a problem with any of my bikes. Ever heard of that? I'm not arguing the fact you shouldn't run a good oil. I just never heard of such a short change interval. Every 6 rides?

ATF type F here. Used it with my Override and slingshot for 2-3 years now. I will continue.

Type F is all I run. I don't know if it breaks down, but I believe it's less effective at suspending (remnant clutch fiber) particles than regular motor oil. That's just my theory as to why it has to be changed more often.

so i should do a oil change every 15 freakn rides? running type f at this point in time, dats ridiculous, whats a reasonable but great oil to use in my semi race quad that i dont have to worry about as much as type f???????
