ATF type-F?

[towlie]

Hey ya'll. I've read a lot of posts on ATF as a substitute tranny oil for my 02 cr125 and was just about to switch today. Just before I put it in, the ATF seemed a lot less dense than the Bel-Ray gear saver I normally use. The ATF is Casrtol type-F in a black bottle. I believe the gear saver is 60 weight, anyone know the weight of the ATF? Anyhow I guess I'm just reaching out for some positive affirmation here and I can't wait to take the plunge after Okie and\or other ATF advocates assure me it'll be OK. :bang:

Thanks in advance ya'll.

It's all good..it's all I have ever put in my bike and I bought it new in '01. it's also much cheaper so you can afford to change it more frequently. I just checked on my bottle of Castrol Type-F and did not find the weight on it.

I believe ATF Type F is about 7.5 weight. I've used it before and it works fine.

The big thing with ATF is to change it frequently. We always change oil every ride so we run it but if I was one of those guys who only changed my oil once a month I'd likely pass.

We ride about 1-2x a week and change it about every other month. should probably do it sooner, but hasn't caused a problem yet. We don't run the cheapest ATF, usually Castrol or Valvoline Type F

Good deal ya'll, mabye now I can afford a helmet(kidding). Thanks for the reassurance. I'll be changing it tomorrow and hopefully the weather holds out for a track day. We have finally had sub-90 temps, I love fall.
