Help Needed For Engine Oil
« on: August 05, 2011, 12:47:44 PM »
Hi everyone

I posted a while back about what type of engine oil to have in my KX250 and I think it was 10/40 oil recomended but when I was looking on ebay its not clear which is for wet clutch and most of the motorcycle stuff says '4 stroke' and I wasn't sure if they have a wet clutch also.

The price of the 10/40 tuff was around the same price as some specialist stuff on ebay which said it was GP10-2-STROKE-GEARBOX-OIL pls see below

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-PUTOLINE-GP10-2-STROKE-GEARBOX-OIL-MOTOCROSS-ENDURO-/300535988123?_trksid=p4340.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D10%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1844303804045871663&_qi=RTM920742

but when I got it delivered it is just Putoline GP10 gearbox oil, no mention of 2 stroke, it says itds SAE 75W but doesnt mention anything about wet clutch or the 10/40W

Also I read on some other forums that this stuff may contain anti-friction modifiers that can kill wet clutches

Anyway I was hopin someone could tell me if I'm best sending this stuff back as the label is different to what was advertised and Im not sure its best thing to put in my bike and I want the best for it! :)

Thanks

If it says it is a gearbox oil it wont have any friction modifiers in it.
You should be good to go.
If you don't fall off you are not going hard enough

I always used 10w30 or 10w40.
One day i ran out and no shops nearby, but my buddy let me use his 75w90.
I couldn't notice anything different, altho i only used it for that short weekend, as i changed back to my
regular tranny oil after i got back home.
