Changing fluids first time. Hunting down redline shockproof and need to know what kind for transmission. Heavy or lightweight gear oil?

 

V-Twin Transmission Oil with ShockProof®

 

Thanks, what size alan bit is the transmission fill?

 

Nevermind

 

Redline VTwin tranny oil and Shockproof Heavy are the same, and believe it or not are the same price--or were the last time I looked.

 

Yep, Shockproof Heavy. (or red paint)

 

A Redline Rep came on the forum a while back to explain they are both the same. Buy the Redline V-twin Transmission oil. I buy mine from racerpartswholesale last I bought was 12.95 a quart .

 

Yes, but doesn't VTwin tranny oil and Shockproof Heavy have a strong smell? This is the only reason I haven't tried them yet.

Beary

 

Yesterday, I just put in 1 QT of Redline Vtwin, 6 cylinder Shockproof. Did my 10K service, or at least the fluid part of it. I will do the rest this weekend.

 

Absolutely Beary, I have to open up the garage doors and turn on my floor fan when I change the Tranny oil....smell's like nothing I've ever smelled before. Glad I only have to change it every 20K.
