Looking at running Amsoil next season. What grades do you run in the engine side and tranny side?

[serpent]

i use 20w50 the blue cap in summer conditions in the motor sidey change every ride . in the trans i use spectro clutch saver

[Pacheco_450r]

10w40 all year, both sides. I'm in central California

[440ex. ehhh!!]

new to the 450r, but what is the point of having different oil chambers if you use the same stuff in both sides??

Is it just so that if something goes wrong on the clutch side it doesn't damage the rest of the motor, and vise versa??

well the point to it is somewhat that you can run different oils, but most powersports oils are already designed for wet clutch use so its not worth it. you can run a moly oil in the engine and then something else for trans. I just like the fact that the oil is seperate incase you do have a failure, clutches make lots of debris in the oil and atleast thats not going into the engine

Ok sounds good.
so for example i could run Lucas 10w40 semi synthetic motorcycle oil in both sides??

I run the amsoil 10w-30 in the engine side, an honda trans oil for the trans side. you won't be dissapointed with amsoil, their the synthetic oil founders!
