[QUOTE="Sandman 2.0, post: 1240727, member: 53649"] Castrol, Shell Rotella, Mobil 1..........all good oils. I've used Castrol GTX in ALL my sportbikes/streetbikes since I've been riding and also in the transmissions of my 2-smokes. Never had any issue. I'm pretty sure for all the oil threads and hoopla about multi-mega-bux oils, that knowone ever traced a failure to oil. Do a google search and you'll probably come across a CBR1000 (I think) that was run for over 100,000 on castrol GTX dino. I believe all parts were still within spec. It must be an honest dealer telling you not to buy the Honda oil. The CRF's have seperate oil for tranny clutch vs engine if memory serve me correct so you could use even the energy conserving oils with more moly. For your trans/clutch. you could use ATF type "F" with good results. It's cheap and made for wet clutch trans with good shear out stability. The key is regular changes no matter what you run. A lot of people run the Rotella in both eng and trans. Available at Wally world in gallon jugs..........name your poison........ I personally never bought into moto-specific oils. Never had an engine or trans failure since my first bike back in 1970. [/QUOTE]
