Jay- you gonna' sell me a couple quarts out of your case? Do you have to pay haz mat charges for shipping oil?
I've been using Maxima oils. My rebuild of a very used Warrior showed very little wear and it always had Maxima in it. So I continued with teh 'dale. The factory uses(used:() Maxima MTL in the tranny and Golden Spectro in the engines. The R&D guys used the Redline. I'm switching from the Maxima because it's a blend and the same inside source said to use full synthetic.
I was using amsoil v-twin in the motor and honda hp in the trans. After reading some other posts I decided to try the mobil one because it's easy to find. Went with 10-40 in motor and 15-50 in trans and I really noticed the trans shifting better.
I used castrol semi-synthetic motorcycle oil 10w-40 in my 400ex and never had a problem. I used it in the cannondale the first time I changed the oil. I am still looking for a good tranny oil.
