[QUOTE="john stu, post: 330754, member: 27637"] i dont disagree with maufactures charging too much for oil and that you could get oil just as good or better for less but why would you put atf automatic trany oil for cars in your bike its not a car or an automatic if you want to save money why would you not try running mtl manual tranny lube or even gear oil at least its the right weight oil, atf is like 5w i dont think it has the damping propertys of 85w gear oil to absorb shock to the gears and prevent chipping of the gears over time.5w if you want to run atf in your forks that sounds fine because fork oil is usualy 5w or 10w anyway at least its the right weight even if it does not have the right additives it should not do any harm,but atf is much to thin to absorb the shocks these trannys take sure you might get lucky and nothing might break but why take the chance, at least run the right viscosity oil if you dont want to run to run genuine honda oil whats next let me guess you guys run atf in the rear end of your trucks instead of gear oil right because its .99 cheaper 85w- atf whats the differance right [/QUOTE]
