Changing 10w30 to ATF F trans oil

<< < (2/4) > >>

Foxx4Beaver:
I've never tried ATF...and don't intend to....but I did run Bel-Ray Gear Saver for YEARS, but it gets expensive when you're changing it every 2-4 rides(because I'll only run aluminum plates)...since my last rebuild two months ago...I'm back to 10W-40.
I have no info about ATF, so I don't know if it works good or not.

EDIT...did you read this thread?..

alward25:
had type f foam up at over 100 mph and blow out the vent and countershaft sprocket seal and on one more ride after that .  Went back to Amsoil 10w40 and have not had any more problems.  Could have been a fluke, but, not going to chance it running higher speeds.

sandblaster:
My seal blew as well using type F.

Motorrad:
10-40 ams in mine

ID KX500:
Occasionally I use ATF for one ride, to clean things up, due to the detergent. Don't know if it works but I don't trust it for all the time. 10/40 ams spring/fall 20/50 summer.
