[QUOTE="MikeinFresno, post: 21951, member: 40"] another way to say this is not to use an oil with "friction modifiers", this is the slippery stuff like moly for instance. This stuff ruins your clutch plates. I have been using car synth trans oil in my 2st gear boxes for a few years now. I use Rotella T synth in my 4st. I use the Rotella in my 2st if Im out of trans oil. I use the Rotella cuz its good, cheap at Walmart or Pep boys, use it in my diesel truck, etc, one oil for everything. Since you like to change frequently I would use regular oil or a blend. BUT, my recommendation to you is to NOT change your oil so often and use a synth oil. Unless you suck water in from a creek or severly over heat the bike the oil will be fine. I ride my KTm that has two filters and 2 screens for several rides before changing the oil. I change the filters every 2-3 oil changes and clean the screens when I change the filters. My 525 is at 8800mi and still doesnt use oil with this routine. [/QUOTE]
