I'm having a hard time deciding what to put back in the chaincase for oil. I don't believe that Yamaha oil is the best quality but I also don't know what a good alternative is. Anybody got a suggestion or experience that would be of benefit?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Mobil synthetic 75-90, been using it for years. But in all reality any good gear oil will do if level is proper and regular changes are done.

Thanks.
I have a bottle of the Yamaha stuff ready for when I change the track this summer but I'm a bit concerned over how much thinner it seems compared to 75w90 gear oil (although this is based on shaking a closed bottle so not exactly scientific).
It seems to me that thicker (to a point) would be better from a protection from wear perspective.
