Chain Case Oil

[S.Diddy]

I have an 08 RMK 600 and just tensioned the chain case chain, drained the oil, am ready to put back together but none of the shops are open on sundays. What is a comparable weight oil to the polaris brand that I can go buy at the store today?

 

[nmmiles]

Any medium weight synthetic oil should do. Or ATF if you have it.

ATF will work just fine.

 

[S.Diddy]

Wow thanks for the quick responses guys. Im gonna go finish what I started now.

I've used all the above as well as different motor oils. My latest one has been 20 weight motor oil.

Darn too late but I will say it anyway.

Let the debate begin !!!​

ATF oil for my sleds ... less gear chunks with ATF IMHO.

I use syn tranny fluid... always have in all the sleds I work on.... and it is red and easy to identify.

ATF all the way used it in the last 4 sleds Iv owned much cheaper never had any problems, and you can get it any where!!!

Thanks again for all the input guys. I ended up using some atf. I actually had a fresh bottle sitting right in the garage that I didn't even know was there!

X 10 ON THE TRANS FLUID

the old yamaha race/service manual for the '77 SRX's even reccomended trans fluid.

ATF will work great!

I have and alway's will use sewing machine lubricant! It is the lightest weight oil out there that gives great protection and almost zero drag..

just .02 $ worth.

ATF here too, cheap oil - change often, is better than expensive oil full of crud and water
