Trans Oil Poll

I think putting "6 speed" on the bottle is like putting "4x4" on a motor oil bottle.... just a marketing method. The back of the bottle is more important, GL-5. I bet it would work fine in an old 3 speed saginaw or an 18 speed Allison too, despite "being designed for a 6 speed".

I'm not judging the oil, I've never used it, I'm insulted by the labeling/ marketing...

Probably close to right there but if you read the additive package in the oil like spectro makes, the 6 speed with the helical gears gets a different additive package but would work in many applications in any event. Check the oil section of the self help area for the additive package differences.

Just switched to spectro GL1 I noticed the old fluid I took out looked real thick and guey like carmel mmmm and the spectro was alot smoother looking. Thanks Glider for the spectro tip it seems like a great product and by the way I took your advice and bought a manual for my bike. WOW I cant believe I paid someone all that money to put who knows what in my bike at least I know whats in there now. Mobil1-Spectro GL1- formula+

Way to go. The manual should be included in any purchase of a bike. There's so much the owners can do with it.

Mobile one all 3 holes form me. vtwin 20w50 crankcase, 4t 10w40 primary, 75/140 tranny in all my bikes never a problem.

I just swapped from the Syn3 to Spectro Platinum for 6 speeds yesterday. Is $12.99 a decent price? A noticable difference in the 5th gear whine. Also wanted to thank everyone for all the info here on this site. So far, no questions unanswered. Thanks again!

At $12.99 I would stock up on it. It usually runs closer to $20

Where did you get it for that price? I paid $17.00 a quart for mine.

I'm using Amsoil 75W150

You might want to see what Amsoil everyone is using as this seems to be the most popular brand on this poll

Probably because the Spectro platinum wasn't posted as a choice at the time the pole was made.:s
