bleeds said:New to 2 strokes. BY tranny oil, do you mean that plastic screw type oil plug on the side of my 82 CR250R is NOT to lube the bottom end of my motor? Like it doesnt use a OIL pump to pump oil to my crank, and rod bearings? Sorry if I seem like an idiot, as I am just learning things that are 2 stroke. I learn fast and I dont forget. I also dont give advice uneducated either, so if I dont know.. well I wont claim to. I have been using Castrol GTX motor oil on mine. Clutch seemed ok. If 10 w 30 isnt what I should be using.. what should I buy?

My bike shifts like butter...real nice! I previously used Honda tranny fluid, the stuff in the red bullet shaped bottle. Worked fine but I like the Mobil 1 better. ;)
YFZRob said:I know the question is about non-2 stroke specific gear oil, but why don't any of you guys use the 2-stroke specific gear oil? Is it just a cost issue? I've always used the high buck stuff from Golden Spectro and Bel-Ray. Works great.....fluid always comes out nice and clean, and shifting is perfect.

jackdrinker said:I have my factory 03 RM250 manual in front of me and it says:::
SAE 10W30 for transmission fluid.....
So in goes the low E motor oil....
I would rather change my oil 8 times and spend $8 doing all that instead of once at $8.00....
80W is a hypoid type fluid and is really thick... i tried it in my 125 and hated it, shifted like poopoo.....
Go buy a case of quaker state straight 30 or 40 and be happy...Then tell the dealer to suck it...
