 I change my trans oil once a week when I clean the air filter. I usually go through ten to fifteen gallons of fuel in a weekend. Michigan has an extensive trail network and I ride a lot.   I have used "Clutch Saver" "Gear Saver" and currently I am trying Dexon III. They all seem to function just fine.
   I think the Clutch Saver bottle is the best looking and the Dexron is cheapest.
  You will probably run into strong opinions with oil brand subject, I tell those people that I get my Dexron for free and everyone seems to understand free.

I change my oil and clean my air filter EVERY ride, about 3-4 hours. I use ATF from wal mart.
