HP Trans oil from Honda part # 08C35-A851M01 comes in red bottle

[04450rrider]

I just run the Honda oil.

[BonaZ]

I run Maxima MTL Racing 80wt.

So far so good, as I just changed it and have one race on it, no slippage......

[SwainRacing]

I run AMSOIL 20w-50 in both sides and it works great.

[roundsy]

i run MOTUL 2T 10w40 in my trans side and it works great!

[Dave400ex]

I use the Honda HP trans oil.

[esr250r86]

I run the maxima mtl 80wt also. I used to run the honda hp-4 but it was getting really expensive.

[400ex45]

im running amsoil 10w 40 in both sides and change it every 3 hard rides or sooner

[mx3mom]

Honda HP-4

[trx450jason]

i use the honda hp as well.. youll find that most people use this in the clutch side its good stuff

[BlaineKaiser450]

either honda or amsoil

[GIXXER1KR]

Same here Amsoil 10/40 on both sides!!!:eek2:

[SicRipp83]

do u run sythetic or just regular oil??

[lumi]

lets wonder here everyone.
twin sump system... why put engine or anything else than a spec. oil in the tranny.
hp honda oil is made for tranny spec only. im sure there other oils that are aswell but just mentioning it


btw i run hp tranny(red bottle).

for one thing honda recommends (in tranny side) either the honda tranny lube or there 10w40 but i like running amsoil 10w40 because if it is cold out the honda tranny fluid is alot thick and doesnt get to the parts that need oil as quick. but i think either is good as long as u change often.

[450rRacer22]

not to hijack the thread or anything but i just got my 06 450er and i went to change the oil in the tranny and couldnt find where to drain the oil out at. its not in the same place as it was on my 04. can anyone help me out? oh and i run hp tranny the red bottle as well

[BonaZ]

On the other side of the bike, by the shift lever, tucked behind it towards the lower part of the case. I believe it was a 14 mm.

[400exrider707]

I used to run klotz synthetic 10-40 on both sides, then mad the switch to the honda red bottle gear oil, and found that those false neutrals are going away. It definitely helps. I will be using klotz 80W gear oil on my new rebuild now.

[loc0gring0]

i use rotella disiell oil in both sides

if your talking about the tranny side you arent suppose to run synthetic

Well thats half right...

You can run synthetic as long as it does not contain molybdenum, which is a friction modifier and bad for clutch plates... I would suggest you run a good synthetic designed for wet clutch systems...if your not going to run the gear oil. Nearly every offroad oil company sells some sort of an engine oil that is synthetic and wet clutch safe.

Engine Motul 300v
Trans Motul t2

[TMSmx47]

I run REPSOL or AMSOIL..
