Chukkinsod Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 Quick question for the drag guys..recently bought a 4mil bike want to run atf. Any issues just drain flush run drain flush run until the oil is out. Runnin lockout and wasn't sure if should throw new clutch in or if friction plates would adjust. Don't want to slip like a bitch cause there's still oil in the plates. Change atf after every event. Ran in all other bikes but started with fresh motor before. Hoping atf as a detergent will clean it all out. Quote
RadarRacing Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 Just throw it in. It will mix and not hurt anything. I hate the crap myself. Any oil other than atf is what I prefer. Rotella truck oil keeps my shift forks looking much better than atf and much less creeping when the clutch is hot. Quote
elconor Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 All atf is not created equal. Drag guys use type F because it grabs harder. All other atfs have some slipping agents in them for smoother shifting in cars. Quote
sheerider11 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 I use what ever is on sale. Type F, 10 30, 20 50, gear oil, bottled water or what ever. I switch it up. Never noticed an issue. Quote
mailman Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 bottled water.......LOL............. Quote
Chukkinsod Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Posted April 7, 2016 agreed sheerider...I usually get two weekend races out of it and change...keep it fresh. Type F or dexron VI more expensive .... not sure if there is a benefit. Quote
