shercoben12 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) I put 100mls of it in to my gasgas today just to top it up as the oil was low it made things alot quieter and clutch was nice and smooth. It seemed nice and good for me. It's also nice and cheap. Is it alright to use it for future gearbox oil changes? Thanks Ben Edit- the link does not work. It's Mobil 1 super2000 10w40 (google it) Edited March 23, 2013 by shercoben12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipdamite Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 linky doesn't work ben. thats a car oil right? some car oils can make wet clutches slip ................. I know that some people use car oil in thier bikes, but I wouldn't. not worth risking it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldilocks Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 my gas gas is currently running on castrol gtx 5w30. Now done 6 rides including four trials and no problem. oh and its Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercoben12 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 That's what I want to hear:) Anyone else's opinion would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipdamite Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 it might make your clutch slip; I would drain it out and put some correct oil in just to make sure. my pro likes the putoline light gear oil (I prefer this over atf; makes clutch feel better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldilocks Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 i think the owners manual actually recommends 10/40 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipdamite Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 the great oil debate! All I can say is that I have used castrol gtx in an old drz and it was fine and a mate used castrol edge in his adventure and the clutch slipped...... there is a difference between bike and car oils; friction modifiers etc. hence jaso and api classifications.

shercoben12 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I use the putoline light oil but I am rather tight myself and looking for something cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercoben12 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 It's costing me £6 a change and I ride regularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipdamite Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 http://moto-oil.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=141_144_182_200 this is a great site for cheap oil ........ castrol tech said to use power 1 10w 30, but the 40 might be ok. this is where i get my 2t oil from too.
