Default Another Trans Oil Question
Before You all start with the search function, I have already tried.

I always ran Amsoil 20/50 engine oil and Amsoil SVG 75W90 trans in my 04 RG. I am ready to do the 5K on my 09 SG and was wondering if anyone is using the Amsoil SVG 75w90 in the 6 speed trans.

The dealer put Syn3 in the engine and Belray synthetic in the trans on 1k service. I would like to go back to the Amsoil that I am use to. Anybody see a problem?

Any honest answers are greatly appreciated. I wanna service this thing in the morning.

I've run Amsoil 75/90 in my 08 tranny before, ran great. I put Redline SP Heavy in it this past time.

Amsoil actually recomends 20w50 Motorcycle oil first then 75w110 Severe Gear lube second then 75w140 Severe Gear lube Third.

Any should work fine

I've run 75/90 in the trans in the past, but planning on switching to the Redline ShockProof Heavy in the next few weeks.

I just put the Redline ShockProof Heavy in my 09' Ultra, seems to be fine. I was coming from dino oil though so I am sure that is why it seems soooo much better.

I like the 85/140 Mobile 1 in the tranny. I tried 75/90, it wasn't as smooth. I believe in Amsoil, I just don't want to have to order case quantity to get a decent price.

Thanks for all the info. I think I may try to find the Redline in the morning. Seems everyone is getting good results with it.

Is there another option for the primary.
