Chain case oil?

Slowpoke, thought i saw 0w-30 listed, I think it is now available??
Made a few visits to the Lake George/ Champlain region in the 80's and 90's very nice, must be some great riding up there.

sorry about that I was replying from my blackberry and misunderstood or misread! we have 0w-40 for sleds and 10w-30 for marine and small engines. The 0w-40 gives a broader protection range for those cold mornings and the higher operating temps.

I've run Mobil 1 75W-90 gear lube in mine. I like what I've just learned about the Amsoil stuff and will likely switch at the next change.

Amsoil does offer a 0w-30 but it is mainly an automobile oil (amsoil signature series) I use it in my jeep, it has a 35,000 drain intervile. Amsoil's Powersports oil spacificly made for snowmachines and fourwheelers is a 0w-40, check out Sleddheadd's website. Amsoil offer an oil specially made for just about any application. Not just one oil fits all like most companies.

I use SWEPCO #212 "80W-140" gear oil this stuff is hard to get cuz its a commercial/industrial product and not sold over the counter but nothing beats it, runs much COOLER than any other I've tried so far and I also add 50ml of LUCAS oil stabilizer + 200ml of SWEPCO = 250ml mixture.

What does everyone use in their chaincase, I am going to change mine, the book says to use the normal 80/90 gear case oil, my dealer told me to use 5W-30 motor oil. I was thinking about trying to find some synthetic.

Yamalube Shaft-drive lube changed every 500 - 1000 miles. No problems.

i usually run amsoil chaincase oil in mine. this year i put royalpurple 75w140 in it because i had some lying around. usually change mine 1 a season on my main sled. betsy usually gets it every 2 years.

My dealer told me they are using Yamalube 10W-40 motor/gear oil. So that is what i have been using and it works just fine..

Amsoil in all three sleds. Hope it's as good as I hear. Got some value packs at Novi with injector oil, chaincase lube and chassis grease all together.
