[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 185626, member: 1650"] I guess I have never been bike specific once I got past 2 stroke oil, and usually that was due to availibility. I have great luck with any of the 15-40 diesel oils. atf of any kind worked great for me in MOST of the transmissions I have used it in. In the case of transmissions (the CRF's being one of the later bikes to have seprate oils for the engine and transmission) find one that shifts the way you like and hooks up the way your clutch likes. Most any of them will handle the lubrication/cooling/cleaning chores. My personal choice for four stroke engine oils is the Chevron Dello 15-40. The conventional one, as opposed to the semi synthetics. The process they use is similar to ones that are termed "synthetic". It flows better in cold being my main reason for choosing it, which has little bearing on my motorcycles. I keep it around in quanity for my larger cummins diesels, so for years and years it is being run in tt's, xr's, crfs and some of my street bikes. ones to avoid are any of them with an energy conserving label, as SOME of those seem to cause clutch slippage. BTW, when I did try amsoil it worked just fine. It is over priced, and in spite of what they say, they really didnt come up with anything new. [/QUOTE]
