I used the oil in my Crossman 2100 Classic and was able to restore the oiling ring's function. I can't remember how good it was when it was brand new, but I am very satisfied with how it is working now.

I can't see why not. It is an excellent oil. Sure works well in my Sportster transmission/chaincase/clutch. It's yellow metal safe, too. Not for synchros in an automobile transmission.

Yes. If anything it is an improvement. Though for the price you would be better served looking at another oil as $14 a quart is absurd. Any synthetic SAE 5w-30 motor oil will do the job admirably and the going rate is $5-8 a quart. I'm a mobil 1 guy but even royal purple (supposedly the top of the line) is going for $7.86.

The oil is formulated for 4 stroke motorcycles, especially with wet clutches. hence the MA/M2 service designation. My bike is shifting much more smoothly with the 4T oil.

WD40 is not a good solution for any mechanical parts as it is NOT a lubricant. It will eventually gum up and cause even more issues. Use a good 3 in 1 oil and you'll be golden.

I was following the advise of another Harley rider and some information that I found on the internet. I am not a mechanic just trying something different. So far I only have about 200 miles on this oil in my transmission however have noticed a smother shift otherwise no difference. I am running this in the transmission on my 2007 Road King Classic.

Contact: knfilters.com for that specific intel. I did a trial run of taking a new 170c oil filter adding oil and the next day drained down the oil. next step was to weigh the filter. Log this number. Then install it on the motorcycle and after 3,000 miles, remove the filter and drain. I weighed it and was impressed with the collection quality of the K & N Filters. I use these in my two cycles and my wifes Sportster. I also use them in my car and truck. I have been working on motorcycles for over 40 yrs. and am a certified tech. I hope this helped you.

This too, happened with mine. It had about 3 ozs of oil in it. I was told it is the little remainder of the oil & lube they used at the factory to test the Genset. Was it a lot (about the 20 oz they recommend?)

BELOW IS A STATEMENT FROM RED LINE. I DO NOT THINK THIS ONE WILL DO AS YOU WANT. The following is an excerpt from Red Line's website: 'Red Line does not recommend running V-Twin Transmission Oil or Heavy Shockproof in a Sportster/Buell transmission.' It appears that '80W Motorcycle Gear Oil with ShockProof' is recommended for Sportster transmissions per the Red Line website.

I am not an owner of a Diesel but I have a friend who owns a diesel and from what I know, from reading tons of reviews regarding owners using Rotella T-6 5w-40, in gasoline cars and diesel trucks it's a great oil that meets necessary specs. I use it in all my cars, my Yamaha Virago 1100 motorcycle and even my Piaggio MP3 500 scooter. I have no complaints and I am very happy with this oil.

Will be fine as a motorcycle final gear oil. I use this product in two BMW motorcycles, a BMW R1150RT and a R1200S, as a final drive oil and also as the transmission oil.

I would suggest an e-mail directly to the company. The woman who runs the company is very proud of her product and service. Consequently, I'm sure she will give you all of he help she can. I have used one bottle over about 2 months and it has been just fine--but I've also followed their instructions and have kept the oil in a cool spot in the house--Not hard in Mt!. I've been extremely satisfied with the product, both in terms of quality and price and in fact have recently ordered 2 more bottles.

I have been using it in my Yamaha yzf r6 for about 8000 miles now and no issues. It has a wet clutch in it. Actually it seems to shift a little smoother with this oil than it did with oem yamalube. I do change my oil every 3000 miles or so.

This oil is for use in a lawnmower, generater, anything 4 cycle, I called the company and they told me , this oil performs better the hotter the oil got,and service life is 3x longer on this oil than regular oil, I think it is detergent, Sae 30

I have used it for many years in a first generation Mazda Miata that has limited slip. So have many members of the Miata community, including those doing SCCA racing and also autocross. I believe that it is the most widely used gear oil, and I have never heard any dissatisfaction with it. I am sure there are other synthetics that are also good. -- John

Yep, should work fine... All 2 stoke oil basically does the same, I prefer synthetic. I use it in my two stoke Vespa scooters
