northshore03 Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 i have been reading a lot about what people put in there crank case. i put motul 10w30, havnt had a problem with it, but it is like 10 bucks a bottle. i work at an kragens, so getting regular oil is way easier, but is it really okay to use. if i go that way is it better to use castrol 10w40 or tranny type f. sorry to ask this question again, but i get both answers from all the post. again, just looking to see if it really is ok to use regular motor oil and wether tranny type f is better then motor oil. sorry for the long post.

TREELIZARD Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 I like to use the ATF type F. but if you use regular motor oil then use something like castrol GTX 20/50 that doesn't have any friction modifiers. I've used both oils and both will do the job well. you wont have any problems with the ATF type F or the 20/50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Quad Racer Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 regular motor oil will destroy you clutch in a short period. ATF will not as autos have clutch packs in them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 I've always ran Valvoline 10w30....about $1.35/qt. Cheep enough to change it probably more than it needs it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee4202 Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 I have been useing bel ray 80w. I change the oil on a regular basis, is there somthing better that i could use or is this oil ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeJerry Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 80w??? Good God... thats way too thick IMO. I bet that thing is a bear to start in the cold with that syrup in the crank case. I have been using valvoline ATV 10w/40 with great results. 2 or 3 bucks a quart.
