I know oil questions are done all the time but this on was not asked as I can see>>!!??

I was going to run Pro-Honda HP Trans oil SAE 80W/85W in the trans and run Mobil 1 15w50 red cap in the motor side.

Does this sound like A winner!!!!!


I believe the owner’s manual calls for 10w40 in the trans. So is the Honda HP oil all right??


what are u running???

Im using that tranny oil also. Its the best tranny oil out there for any quad that has seperate oil for tranny and crank.

About changing the oil in the crank..... thats up to you.

Personally, im sticking with the oil that Honda made. Honda's oils are awesome. They made that oil especially for the crf450. Im going to continue using it because of that fact. Its a very high performance oil and you know for sure that you cant screw up with it.

Oh yeah and the manual actually says that you can use the HP 80w85w tranny oil. So it is for sure okay.
