I have 2 quarts of Valvoline Max Life High Mileage 20W-50. Can I use that or do I have to go with 10W-30?

 

 

Will it hurt the bike if i use that oil? Really I was gonna use it to just flush the case out.

Is it compatible with wet clutches? If it is not, I would not even use it to flush the cases.

 

 

I called Yamaha and they said never put 10W-30 in the case. They said I had to use a motorcycle oil only. I am not sure if they were trying to sell me oil or not. Could somebody clear up this issue for me?

I just wanted to use it to flush the case out. Now I am worried I might hurt the bike Yamaha scared the shit out of me. They said don't listen to any of you guys. Funny thing is all you guys say to run those oils. I think Yamaha wanted me to buy there oils.

I have learned more about the bike from this BBS than anywhere else. I plan to subscribe soon. :)

I've ran plain ol motor oil, ATF, type f, 80w trans lube, 15w40 diesel oil, etc. Your clutch has to be pretty jacked up for one of those fluids to screw it up. You're better off with a specific trans/clutch fluid for the piece of mind. Some of the 4 stroke guys swear by the diesel oils. If they can run it in the entire engine we can run it in our trans. And most of that is pretty cheap.

The thing you'll find about the stealership guys is they usually are all about the stock stuff. If you start getting much past the way a bike looks when it comes out of the crate alot of those guys don't have a clue.

So you think it would be OK to run the 20W-50 motor oil?
