Not sure if Mobile 1 should be used for the gear case.

 

I know some synthetics can be used if they have no additives.....but I don't know about Mobile 1.

 

Anyone use it?

 

Should I or shouldn't I?

I wouldn't run it. I believe it says "energy conserving" on the back of the bottle meaning it contains friction modifiers that will cause your clutch to slip. Mobile 1 5W50 doesn't contain friction modifiers but they dont make it anymore.

I think all the lighter weight oils have the gas saving friction modifiers with moly. I use the 15w-50 mobil 1 racing oil in my tranny which is void of all the gas saving garbage. I've used it in my banshee since break in as well as my crotch rocket, never a problem.

I don't think castrol gtx has friction modifiers. It should say on the back of the bottle.
