beauchemin Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 The manual states that the transmission requires 80W/90 weight oil, but there is no mention of the minimum required grade. Can I use Silkolene "Comp Gear" transmission oil? The grade is GL-3 & GL-4. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2 V11 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Chris, Personally I would go for a GL-5 myself. I am going to change mine any day now. I will be using Castrol Syntrax 75W/90 which is fully synthetic. Below is what I found on a UK website regarding Agip Gear Synth 75W/90 which is the recommended oil. "AGIP SYNTH GEAR SAE 75W-90 AGIP GEAR SYNTH is a part synthetic gear oil for the lubrication of gearboxes and final transmissions of bikes with particular EP characteristics (API GL-4) and an exceptional viscosity-temperature curve which guarantees high fluidity at the lowest temperatures. API GL-4 / GL-5" Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
