[QUOTE="marcusgunby, post: 330784, member: 17066"] you are confusing price with properties.The price is a side benefit that means you can change it more often.ATFs weight is equivalent to a light gearbox oil.The weight you listed are on a different scale.ATF is a thin oil and i dont tend to use it on my CR in summer as it tends not to help but in winter it centainly does.Some bikes shift better with ATF-thats what im looking for.No gearbox IMO has every been damadges running ATF thats changed regular.Many gearboxes have been damadged running expensive oils for too long a time between changes.We could go on and on and on and on...... but no one is saying for you to use it but dont discourage others with a lack of evidence.You opinion is just that an opinion with no evidence.I have given an example as many other have of ATF being used under the hardest conditions with no signs of problems-open you mind to the idea you may be able to run ATF without problems and save money-its not often we can use something cheap and know we are doing no harm. Your argument for using ATF in forks is strange as you maitain its ok because the weight is correct-is this all that matters in a fork/shock?what about its VI rating are you happy that is similar.It is actually ok to use ATF but not becuase its a light oil or because its cheap-it becuase it actually works well and this can be verified by experts in the industry.
