[QUOTE="MikeT, post: 318285, member: 21398"] [b]Re: Is 10w30 alright ?[/b] I can't say ALL blends of 10W-30 have friction modifiers in them. The way you can tell if you are buying the oil at an auto store is to check the back of the bottle and look for the star. It will say "ENERGY CONSERVING" in all caps in the star. Turn a bottle of 5W-30 and a bottle of 10W-40 around and check it out. NOW, the oil you can get at the bike dealer, I have no idea what that has in it. To tell you the truth I have never bought gear oil from the dealer for my MX bike. As for mixing ATF with a different oil. It is never good practice to mix different types of oils together. You can drain your tranny and fill up with the other, no problem, just don't mix them. See what works best in your gear box. Some fluids will make your gearbox shift better than others. If you were out in the desert and the only thing you had was half ATF and half 10W-40 to get you home, Mix away! But how often do you ride in the desert?? Anyway, don't mix em' One of the fancy chemical experts around here could probably give you a real reason why. :D [/QUOTE]
