[QUOTE="YFZRob, post: 984363, member: 62663"] He is exactly correct. You'll trash your tranny using something like that, which is probably a GL-4 or GL-5 differential fluid. Only a few jap cars use that fluid for their manual transmissions, otherwise, it's ONLY to be used in differentials. That crap may work in the shaft drive of your Dad's 1980 Honda street bike, but not in a 2 stroke transmission. 80W in some fluids is not the same as 80W in others. Golden Spectro has 80W 2 stroke tranny oil, and recently released a "10W30" 2 stroke tranny oil. They are the same damn thing......trust me....I have used both. They probably released the 10W30 stuff just to increase sales to people who think 80W is too heavy. It comes down to this. If you're cheap or just not the kind of person to believe in high end, application specific oils, using 10W30 motor oil is fine. ALL of the manufacturers, whether it's a 2005 RM250 or a 1988 CR250, will state 10W30 in most climates. The 80W 2 stroke gear oil is the equivilant to a 10W30 motor oil in viscosity. In addition, DON'T buy any fluids for your bike at the stealership!!! I just bought 4 quarts of Bel-Ray 80W "Gear Saver Transmission Oil" for $4.49 a quart from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. If you're paying $8 a quart, I can see how you wouldn't want to use this stuff. Same goes for 2 stroke oil. I buy Castor 927 for around $16 a 1/2 gallon.....the same thing is $23 at my local stealership. :bang: [/QUOTE]
