Trans uses same oil; there are two drain bolts for the case on the bottom of the engine that drains the oil in the engine. I use Bel Ray Thumper 20w-50 oil and Engine Ice for the coolant.

I always used regular motorcycle oil form my dealer. My tranny would whine and shift rough. My engine would always feel resticted as well. I switched to amsoil motorcycle full synthetic. 10w40 in the summer 0w40 in the winter. Tranny problems disapeared and my engine felt like new. So i highly highly recommend using amsoil. Its a little more expensive but 110% worth it.

I use Mobil1 10W40 M4XT full synthetic off-road competition oil and I have no problems with it! The bike runs good IMO.
