[QUOTE="FruDaddy, post: 1209953, member: 63076"] I can assure you that there are additives in lubricants intended to have clutches, or other friction devices, submerged in them. This is why there are different types of gear oil, some for open differentials, and others for limited slip. If you use a lubricant without the proper additives in a limited slip differential, the clutches in it will not work properly. Unfortunately, I am not a chemist, and I cannot identify my sources at this time, as I have gained my information from magazines that I have read over the last 10+ years. Perhaps somebody more knowledgeable will come along and clarify the differences in fluids. If you want to save money buying a lubricant that isn't designed for a dirt bike, then feel free, but you are doing so at your own risk. If you search these forums, then you will have the opportunity the read the opinions of others here on various options. My only assumption is that the oil companies have people, who are far knowledgeable than I am, deciding exactly what needs to be put into the bottle so that their product will do its job and I will buy more of it. Research your options on your own, and don't expect somebody else to tell you what to do. If you do that, then you don't need to cite your sources, but you do need to know how reliable your sources are before you choose to trust them. Lastly, you don't know me, or my background, so you should take anything I say and look it up for yourself anyway (this goes for all internet sources). Just because I say the sky is blue doesn't make it so, you should walk outside and see for yourself. [/QUOTE]
