The nano trans gp has additives that make it last longer between changes and provide more protection[ so they say?] when a bikes clutch and gears are being thrashed to death... if you ride like the top 10 riders in the world then this may feel important to you ....if you are a club rider light gear oil is plenty good enough or 10w40 or 75w or ATF dexron lll Edited January 31, 2019 by oni nou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That smell of the EP 90 is the chemical protectant to help prevent rusting/corrosion of any gears exposed from the oil over a period of time ie in storage etc.?It dont half pong too and the smell clings to your clothing.

misscrabstick Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I use nano trans now and will be sticking with it, I tried a few different gear oils in my 300 Evo and nano is by far the best so far, it really helps that clutch draggy issue when cold, i really don't have any now!

I had a job once where every month I would spend a week or two rebuilding axles and gearboxes for a car manufacturer that had been returned by their dealer network as faulty ( I worked at the importers) during those times I smelled of EP permanently despite many baths and showers!

the dabster Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I heard the opposite, I heard the nano oil was suspected of causing clutch problems on the evo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section swept Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Fully synthetic oil more likely to cause clutch slip unless it has the correct modifiers added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know it's used by Beta UK and reccomended by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to hear you're own personal experience is positive, that's the sort of info that helps fellow riders make decisions. I am confident I heard rumours from more than one source that nano oil was causing clutch problems on evos. Maybe someone that has experienced the problems alluded to can comment.

I have had no problems myself, but that said I am a Novice level rider and it's not in my style to give the clutch a right big pasting up massive steps etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshock250 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Can also recommend nano trans in the beta, best oil I've used for the clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
