If you do this you sould go the whole way, there should definitely be a car wash. Have to tell you I won't be seen within a 10 mile radius of the place. Any man seen nearby will immediately be labelled gay. I'm not homophobic, but life would become alittle complicated if everyone thought I was gay. You're thus likely to alienate most male customers. Also considering the way most societies expect a woman to behave (and thus the way most women are conditioned to behave) will probably result in the alienation of a good portion of the female customers (I know it suck and isn't fair that this technique is a sound business strategy when aimed at men and not when aimed at women but life often sucks and isn't fair). For all the women that will come, I say more power to you.
Just to let you know - most women could give about 2 poops less about hot guys in wife beaters. when it comes to making money off of women being into that kind of stuff, you would make more money off men. That is why there are no 900 numbers for girls to call, any women's magazines are mostly looked at by gay men, and there are 100 stripclubs for guys to 1 for women. And there again, it is mostly gay men that frequent them.

Anything wrong with using motor oil(synthethic) on a bicycle chain and gears?
Synthetic motor oil now days is certainly thin enough for chain use. the molecular structure of synthetic oil is fantastic and is great at what it is designed to do - resist high sheer loads in an engine. That is all it is really good for. On a chain you do not have sheer but rotational friction inside the roller at the pin. That is actually the only place that the lubrication is necessary. The very reason why chain lubricants are made to penetrate is the outside needs no lubrication.
You don't want to use motor oil because it will:
1. Sling off the chain as it it made to film off of parts and be pumped though a filter and back into engine parts. Engineers worked really hard to make it perfect for that job.
2. Attract dirt. Another property that those good petroleum engineers did was make a product that carries the contaminants to the filter. Bikes don't of course have that filter so the gritty material will wear your chain and gears.
3. It is wash out resistant. Good for resisting rain, but it resists mild chain cleaners too. Oh, you can cut it, but usually to remove it all you need a solvent not detergent.
The types of products you want for a chain:
1. Wax based ';dry'; lubricant. This is a modern formulation of a wax made to emulate paraffin that used to be melted onto chains. This new chemical mix is a carrying solvent and wax that penetrates where you need it and the solvent evaporates leaving the wax behind to do the lubrication. Since wax is dry no attraction of dirt. Wax is also very water proof so it's good in the rain. Draw back is that this formula is the hardest to clean off a chain, and your chain had to be thoroughly cleaned of any petroleum before using. It won't stick to the metal of the chain with a petroleum film in the way. Read the label.
2. Dry Teflon Lube. Very good lubrication as Teflon is the slipperiest substance known. It works with a carrying agent just like the wax. It is a bit wetter as the carrier has a light oil to try to keep the Teflon in place as Teflon itself is transferable. Too slippery to stay on it's own when not baked on like a frying pan. Teflon as a lubricant is like tiny micron sized bearings and they are in the plastic family. They wont break down in water but can be flushed out easily with detergents that break down the carrying oil.
3. Wet lubes. Think of them as just better oil for the task than motor oil. They still attract dirt and need more cleaning. Water resistant to rain and actually the best choice in the rain, as long as you know you will have a cleaning job when you are done in the rain.
4. New tech ceramic impregnated lube. This is the new twist on the wax and Teflon. A carrier bring ceramic powder that burnishes onto the metal. It takes a couple applications to get it right with break in riding in between. (read the label) It promises to be the best of all words -- if it works.Anything wrong with using motor oil(synthethic) on a bicycle chain and gears?
Yes -- it attracts dirt and grime like there's no tomorrow, and any bike shop mechanic that has to work on your rig is going to want to punch you in the head.
As a bicycle mechanic, nothing annoys me more. Spend $7 on a tube of synthetic, bicycle-specific chain lube -- it's designed to lubricate without attracting more dirt into the chain (which reduces its lifespan). Only requires a few drops. A tube should last you at least a year.Anything wrong with using motor oil(synthethic) on a bicycle chain and gears?
Motor oil is too thick to use on bicycle chains. You want a thin mineral oil that can get into the rollers and provide lubrication. You never want to oil a dirty chain because it will wash the grit into the rollers. You want to degrease the chain and remove the grid before oiling. Never use WD-40

I say NO without having any facts to back my opinion. Have never seen any facts to justify expensive commercial chain lube either. Lots of hype, but no facts. Maybe somebody can point us to them.
Clean well, oil, and wipe down real good. Use the lowest weight oil you can get. The wiping is important to retard the accumulation of road grit on the exterior parts of the chain.
I think one of the selling points of chain lubes is less accumulation of grit, and they aren't as messy when applying. After a few miles tho, my chains are just as black using chain lubes as with motor oil. And the crap won't hardly wash out of fabric, especially anything synthetic.
Sheldon Brown in the link talks about ';oil'; without specifying anything.
Edit: Give McG the 10 points he deserves for the most informed answer.
Other than Making a Mess and wearing off, Nothing.
if you use Oil for Bicycle chains, it has a ingredient that bonds to the chain to protect it from moisture, regular motor oil does not have this, and comes off the chain during use.
regular oils attract dirt and break down faster. bicycle lube with teflon is the best ( finishline) brand. i know i've had to clean up lots of chains and drive lines. use to have own shop and still do maint %26amp; repair.
Yes! Don't be cheap, get the good stuff. But if you are asking this question, you are probably stupid enough that you bought your bike from walmart, so go ahead, smoother it in motor oil and have fun.

Oil Change and Shifting Gears Issues for GZ250?
Hi,
I own 2003 Suzuki GZ250 from last 2 months. I drove around 1500 miles on that. I make oil changes to my car regularly, but when it comes to motorcycle oil change I never did it. The oil looks dirty, so I thought to change oil %26amp; filter. I went to Advance Auto Parts store to look for oil filter %26amp; oil. The closest I found was for “250CC-GS250 (1980-1981)” of Fram filter CH6000 and oil is 10W40.
Can anyone tell me is that Fram CH6000 oil filter is any good for GZ250? And what about 10W40 oil, the manual says use 10W40, any suggestions on that ? Please let me know is there any online website , that you can order oil filters and what that filter model is ? (I live 60 miles north to Atlanta, GA. Any stores around this area? )
Another question is , some times when I shift gears, I feels like it got stuck and I have to slam the gears, does anyone got that problem ?
Is 10W40 oil has impact on how gear system works ? Is there any better oil ?Oil Change and Shifting Gears Issues for GZ250?
A Suzuki GS250 was a 250cc twin; the early 80's GN250 engine is exactly like yours. I don't think there is a replaceable oil filter in the GN/GZ model, but a metal mesh strainer? If it is, you would clean it with gasoline.
I'd use a motorcycle specific engine oil. These little motors don't hold much, and if you spend $10 on oil every 3000 miles, it'll last a long time.
I normally use a 20w-50 oil on any air-cooled engine. If your shifting problem doesn't go away after you replace the oil, check first the clutch free play. If that's okay, you may have some bent shifter forks. Better brush up on the service manual.Oil Change and Shifting Gears Issues for GZ250?
Go with Amsoils motorcycle specific 10w-40.
They most likely have an oil filter for your application as well. Just go to the application guide and plug in your year model and make.
http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/default…
An oil change can make a great difference on how shifting works. Also, go to the dealer, or online for your filter. The engine is claose, but may not be exactly the same. You need to change at least once a year or 3000 miles. 10W40 is fine, 20W50 will work too, although harder to crank in cold weather.
fram are very bad filters cross reference with car filters look under the web sight best oil filters for bikes use purolator or mobil one oil filters if it an outside filter they have the most filter media in them use a non energy conserving oil because the molly that is in the car oil will make your clutch slip use lucas motorcycle oil or amsoil or mobil one or dyno oil shellrotalla t in a blue bottle if it is an inside filter go to the dealer they are the only ones that will have it

Maxda RX8, sticky gears, doesn't like lower gears and moisture on oil stick. Told these are normal, are they?
Moisture on dipstick is normal. There is a bulletin / repair procedure to reduce the amount found. As for the sticky gears, bleed the clutch and have the pedal checked for flexing / breakage of the clutch pedal bracket - seen a few of those - as this will make the 'gears stick' because the mainshaft is spinning when it shouldn't because of improper clutch clearance.
also have the trans oil checked for metal particles because RX-8 transmissions' sposed ta shift like butter.Maxda RX8, sticky gears, doesn't like lower gears and moisture on oil stick. Told these are normal, are they?
Just had my georgous lemon serviced and she's purrin' . Was probably laid up for a while before I got her but she's all better now. Suppose ya just gotta know how ta work it baby! Here's to all the sexy beasts who know how to drive a sexy motor! Report Abuse
Maxda RX8, sticky gears, doesn't like lower gears and moisture on oil stick. Told these are normal, are they?
The moisture on a dip stick on the RX8 is perfectly normal. This is because they do not have a head gasket. You can now get a jacket fitted to reduce this build up but is really nothing to worry about.
The moisture on the dipstick is normal for an RX-8.
I have never had a problem with sticky gears in my '05 RX-8.
Natalie has no idea what she is talking about... ';user error';
Mazda(and most car companies) use brass for their synchronizers inside the transmissions. synchros basically line up your gears when u shift. Brass is a soft metal making it prone to wear, most commonly in lower gears because people tend to beat up on them, usually second gear. Fluid treatments do help, and i would recommend getting your fluid changed and using an additive. If the problem continues you may want to have it serviced, but it will be expensive because the parts themselves are inside the very center of your transmission.
When you say moisture do you mean that there is water in you're oil? Doe's you're oil look kinda creamy off white? Does you're car get hot quick? If the above is happening then you possibly have a cracked block. If not try this*
Put some Dura lube or if you do not have a lot of money try tranny honey in you're transmission this should loosen it up. sometimes dirt gets in there and grinds you're gears and makes shifting ruff. Good luck to you!
The foam on the dipstick is completely normal for the RX8. You will see this in colder weather and it's nothing to worry about.
As for shifting getting notchey, you're probably due to have the tranny oil changed. The friction coefficient of oils changes with use and this can affect gear meshing.
That doesn't sound normal on any car
Um, no it is not NORMAL. However it is certainly not unusual for RX8, which may be the worst car made in the past 15 years.
What posessed you to buy the lemon? never mind, Just be prepared to spend most of the time you own it in rental cars, because it will be in the shop 20 - 30 times in 40 months.
Even the replacement transmissions you can get are iffy quality, because they aren't really engineered to go with the rotary engine.
I suppose you already know about the starting troubles, flooding and stalling. There is a TSB about the moisture in the oil. Some of the transmission troubles can be fixed with a reflash, but those reflashes for the engine and transmission tend to diminish the performance.

Brass is a soft metal making it prone to wear, most commonly in lower gears because people tend to beat up on them, usually second gear. Fluid treatments do help, and i would recommend getting your fluid changed and using an additive. If the problem continues you may want to have it serviced, but it will be expensive because the parts themselves are inside the very center of your transmission.
When you say moisture do you mean that there is water in you're oil? Doe's you're oil look kinda creamy off white? Does you're car get hot quick? If the above is happening then you possibly have a cracked block. If not try this*
Put some Dura lube or if you do not have a lot of money try tranny honey in you're transmission this should loosen it up. sometimes dirt gets in there and grinds you're gears and makes shifting ruff. Good luck to you!
The foam on the dipstick is completely normal for the RX8. You will see this in colder weather and it's nothing to worry about.
As for shifting getting notchey, you're probably due to have the tranny oil changed. The friction coefficient of oils changes with use and this can affect gear meshing.
That doesn't sound normal on any car
Um, no it is not NORMAL. However it is certainly not unusual for RX8, which may be the worst car made in the past 15 years.
What posessed you to buy the lemon? never mind, Just be prepared to spend most of the time you own it in rental cars, because it will be in the shop 20 - 30 times in 40 months.
Even the replacement transmissions you can get are iffy quality, because they aren't really engineered to go with the rotary engine.
I suppose you already know about the starting troubles, flooding and stalling. There is a TSB about the moisture in the oil. Some of the transmission troubles can be fixed with a reflash, but those reflashes for the engine and transmission tend to diminish the performance.
How much oil and what type should i put on bike chain and gears?
got it today and they are completely dry, is that how they are supposed to be nowadaysHow much oil and what type should i put on bike chain and gears?
The chain will have its factory grease on the chain which is the best so leave it for a while before you lube. After that use teflon spray lube like
GT85 or similar.
The wax lubes in my view don't last more than 50 miles each time. You go through it in no time and becomes expensive.
3/1 isn't suitable as its too thick and will pick up dirt and clog up your gears.How much oil and what type should i put on bike chain and gears?
You want to use a good chain oil sold at a bicycle shop. Walmart started selling White Lighting which is a good brand. You always want to clean the grime from your chain before you oil, otherwise you will wash the grit into the chain.
http://bicycletutor.com/part/chain/
Put a drop of dry teflon lube onto each chain rivet and run it through all of the gears and then dry it off with a rag. Slow but the best way to do it.
Hey Goatsucker the 2nd u didn't say what kind of bike it is, motor or push? if motor buy a chain bath %26amp; boil the chain for 20-30mins if push then any light oil 3-in-1 should do it!
It probably has a dry-film lube. Anyway, little and often is good. Pop into any bike shop and pick-up what catches your eye.
coat lightly with light oil, little and often.Happy cycling.

Should oil be coming out of my crankcase pressure releif hose after running in 4th-6th gear for awhile?
i have a 06 Yamaha Blaster and after i get done riding it in 4th-6th gear full throttle for a while i will stop to let it cool down, but when i do i notice that it has oil coming from the crankcase relief hose and i dont know if it is suposed to be doing that. i did try and plug it and the piging noise i have in the head went away but when i removed the hose i had a lot of pressure in the crank. so i was woundering if there is a way to keep the oil in the crankcase but let the air out.

What mileage has the bike done? Excessive crankcase ventilation is a sign of worn rings.....you will normally get some fumes from the crankcase as the oil heats up,this is normal,its drawn back into the inlet manifold to be burnt off.Don't plug it,you'll end up blowing a main seal....Should oil be coming out of my crankcase pressure releif hose after running in 4th-6th gear for awhile?
No! Oil should never be coming out of the crankcase for ANY reason. You've got blowby from worn internal part that's causing excess pressure in your crankcase.

Remove the oil fill cap - does it smell like there is gas in the crankcase?
If so, the crank seal could be leaking - pressure from the engine could be blowing into the crankcase.

I have been using Amsoil 20/50 in both my crank and primary. It's expensive, but I was told it was well worth it. I tried something else last oil change and I got all sorts of top end noise that I never heard before, so I am going back to the Amsoil at the next change. I don't know what grade you need, but I'm sold on the product.
That's a cool and rare little Honda you have. They sure didn't make many 2 strokes. I bet there aren't too many survivors out there.

Sounds as though the transmission linkage may be screwed up. Check the transmission fluid for little bits of metal shavings or a dark, burned smell. I suggest you have someone pull the inspection plate and check the transmission.1994feb. reg. ford granada scorpio estate 2ltrtwincam, wont go in drive, works in all other gears oil level ok
and it will cost you a fortune in petrol too. but very cool car. not seen one in years so get it on the road an it will be a head turner
Could just be a slack linkage. When were the gearbox oil filters last checked and cleaned? A lot of auto boxes (merc especially) use a mix of cables,electrics and hydraulic force from the oil inside to help change ratios.
A blocked or slightly obstructed filter can upset a box enough to start playing up.
The oil level in the automatic boxes is suposed to be checed running and in a gear! Make sure the brake is on well.

I've had that problem with some of my cars when I'm putting a thrashing on them. The ultimate solve would be to have a baffle under the outlet leading to the hose. Otherwise all you can do is reposition/lengthen the hose ,or add a small filter to the end to capture oil but let it breath.

I have no idea why oil is leaking out of my GAS GAS' gear box breather pipe?
Ever since i opened the engine Oil has for some reason starting pushing its way out of the breather pipe on my GAS GAS. ive changed the gaskets and bearings inside and its STILL leaking. i have no idea what to do next....I have no idea why oil is leaking out of my GAS GAS' gear box breather pipe?
The most common cause is overfilling the engine with oil. More severe problems can be when engine compression is getting into the the gearbox and the pressure is pushing the oil out. That is usually from problems with the crank bearings or seals...I have no idea why oil is leaking out of my GAS GAS' gear box breather pipe?
That's why I take mine to my mechanic, cause working on engines is a tricky business. Gas Gas bikes, in general, have issues. I have seen 2 in my friends garage, both broken and only a few rides old.
Answer number one is correct, if it is over full then it will come out the vent tube. The only other alternative is that you have a crank seal that has either popped out, wasn't properly installed or has been compromised in some fashion such as it has a hole in it.
It sounds as the compression rings are weak and letting the motor to let the compreshem into the gear box pushing the oil out of the gear box.

Is mixing of a small amout of 2T oil with the 4 stroke motorcycle (gear box) will damage the engine?
My motorcycle has a 4 stroke engine. Its engine requires 1.1L of synthetic oil. The problems starts when I only get 1L of oil, so I still need to put 100mL to achieve the right amount. What I do is I get a bottle of 200mL 2T oil and mix the half of it with my engine oil because we can't find a smaller bottle of 4T oil in our place (and 2T small bottle is cheaper than buying another 1L of 4T oil). I usually encounter this problem when I change oil. The question is, will the 100mL of 2T oil damage my motorcycle? Thanks!Is mixing of a small amout of 2T oil with the 4 stroke motorcycle (gear box) will damage the engine?
Yes, because you're using the wrong type of oil. What's cheaper; another liter of the correct oil (which you can keep to top up the oil between changes and which you can keep to make up your 1.1L every time you change the oil) or a new engine?Is mixing of a small amout of 2T oil with the 4 stroke motorcycle (gear box) will damage the engine?

I just got a synthetic oil change and now the car is jumping when i shift gears not even 2 hours later?
This car(98 Grand Prix) is used and purchased 3 days ago and was not doing this until after the change.I just got a synthetic oil change and now the car is jumping when i shift gears not even 2 hours later?
Having the oil changed doesn't really affect the transmission. Since you just got the car, chances are the problem was always there. The problem with the car probably just comes and goes.
I had car where it would run great 1 week then run like crap the next week, then good again.
Wouldn't hurt checking the oil level though, which you should do after every oil change to make sure they didn't put in to much or nothing at all(it happens).I just got a synthetic oil change and now the car is jumping when i shift gears not even 2 hours later?
if you have only had the car for 3 days you cannot say that the problem was not pre existing. i see absolutely no link between going to a synthetic and a ';jumping'; condition try this pop the4 hood and double check the oil level and the transmission level, then look around and see if you can locate any wires or vacuum lines that are disconnected (usually around the air filter. either of the transmissions that come in that car are tried and true, and very reliable. get back to me if this does not resolve the problem.
CHECK YOUR OIL LEVEL
then bring the car back to the mechanics and ask them just to check it over for you. If they say they can't find anything they did wrong, take it to your mechanic, or a well qualified mechanic. Save all your reciepts. The important part is, let the company who did the oil change at least check it out (they will do it for free) and if they see something they messed up you have a good change they will bear the brunt of this. If not, you will have your reciepts showing you followed the right steps, JUST IN CASE you have to take this to court.
Dont worry though, there is probably a realllly simple and dumb thing that is causing your car to do that.
after that, if that';s not the case, it's
Adding synthetic for the first time I believe changed the attitude of your engine system which in turn would change the attitude of your tranny.

One of the screws that you mistakenly removed is the pivot pin for the gear shift fork. It fell out of position and when you put the screw back in.......well you get the idea.

couple things we need to know first.
1. Is this your first time to change gear lube? First time on this motor?
2. What year motor?
3. Was there any metal in the old oil?
4. Was there any water in the old oil?
5. Need a more specific description of the symptoms. What action are you taking, and what is the response. I mean, does the shift lever move from forward to neutral, but the motor is still in gear? Or is the shift lever frozen up to where you can't move it?
6. How did you determine that it's still in gear? Is it cause the prop spins when the motors running out of the water? or something else?My 4hp Evinrude stays in gear and will not go into neutral after changing the gearbox lube oil. suggestions?

Oil light comes on only when stopped and in gear?
the car also shaked and lost power and turned off todayOil light comes on only when stopped and in gear?
You have low oil pressure, that's not a good sign.Oil light comes on only when stopped and in gear?
As Robert M says the car is idling badly, as reinforced by the shaking and losing power and cutting out at a standstill. When the idle speed is too low, the oil pressure will also be too low, which is why the warning light is coming on. You need to address the idling problem, and when you get it running properly you will also have sorted out the warning light.
You mention it happens when you are stopped and in gear. It might be that the clutch is dragging, and pulling the idling speed down.
before you drive car check dipstick level add until it is between hash marks if it is down alot may have a leak oil and filter needs 2 b changed every 3k miles or 3 months which ever comes first.if oil is full idle is too low,needs tune up,or oil switch is bad.check levelASAP
Knowing what kind of car this is would help a lot. WHen your idle gets too low, the oil pressure drops a little bit and triggers the low oil light. In other words, you have a DIRTY IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE. $3 can of gun-out will take care of this problem on most cars. Good luck!
Low oil or excessive oil or bad oil pump. Check your oil and correct the problem immediately. Do not run your engine at all with the oil light on rather it's cold or hot or just idling or whatever. It will blow up in a hurry.
Take it to Advanced Auto or Auto Zone they will test it for free just make sure the light is on when you have them come out and your car has to be 1996 or newer.
add some oil... thats why the oil light is on
check the oil
may even need a tune up

Does anyone know where in the engine the oil goes for the gear box?
for a rover 214 siDoes anyone know where in the engine the oil goes for the gear box?
Engine oil goes in the engine, not the gear box.Does anyone know where in the engine the oil goes for the gear box?
I'll assume that by Gearbox you mean the transmission. The trans-fluid (not engine oil) goes into the transmission directly. If its an automatic there tends to be a dipstick somewhere under the hood and you could either put it in there (slow) or look around for the cap. A manual transmission requires that you go underneath and there is a drain and fill plug on the trans itself, if you arent familiar with vehicles i wouldnt reccomend doing it yourself.
If infact you are referring to the diffirential (and your vehicle is rear-drive) there is a plug on the diffirential itself. On a FWD the Diffirential is integrated with the trans in what is known as a transaxle however they sometimes use different lubrications so i would reccomend referring to the service manual.discount makeup

If infact you are referring to the diffirential (and your vehicle is rear-drive) there is a plug on the diffirential itself. On a FWD the Diffirential is integrated with the trans in what is known as a transaxle however they sometimes use different lubrications so i would reccomend referring to the service manual.
I have bump shift down between 4 and 3 gear. 2003 Chrysler town and country. I';ve change oil filter, and prob?
Did you put the right fluid back in. It takes chrysler atf+4 and only that not dextron 4 or anything else. If that's whats in there, then there are several updates for the TCM(trans control module) Can only be done at the dealer and also tel them to Quick learn it.
What kind of oil should i use for my old camera's winding gears?
I just got a Kodak 35 at a garage sale the other day. i loaded some 35mm film into it, took the pictures, but them when winding the film back, the gears were so stiff, it tore the film...What kind of oil should i use for my old camera's winding gears?
First of all, try spraying the winding gears down thoroughly with QD electronics cleaner. This will help clean out all of the old grease that could be gumming things up. Repeat this several times.
If you still feel it necessary to lubricate it, spray some WD-40 into a jar and let it sit for several days. You will be left with an amber oil on top and a white waxy substance on the bottom. Skim the oil off the top, and then, using the tip of a screwdriver, apply it sparingly where you see fit. Don't go overboard-with cameras especially, a little bit of oil goes a long way, and too much will just make things worse.
UPDATE:
I've worked on a lot of cameras, and have never seen one lubricated with graphite. For nearly all parts of a camera that require lubrication are lubricated with some sort of light mineral, which is what I have suggested using.
A small drop of oil, properly applied, is the key. Don't go overboard and the oil will never get to places where it's not supposed to be.What kind of oil should i use for my old camera's winding gears?
same as used by your watchmaker. if this is a ';old'; camera you might use ';mavel mystery oil';. i've used it for years on instuments. another is gun oil (hoppys) any gun store
Cameras are lubricated with graphite, never with oil!
Oil, grease, or wax on your film will prevent the development chemicals from penetrating properly, ruining your negatives or slides.
Take it to a camera repair shop and have them lubricate it. They know how to do it properly.
WD-40 will work
Odds are the gears were not stiff but you didn't push the film rewind button in to disengage the gears. I have an old Kodak 35, they do get a bit difficult to use though.

Are you lubing the food cutting surface ? Olive oil.
If you are lubing the actual motor/gear area of the unit [ the parts that DO NOT touch food ] maybe use a light grease such as general purpose lithium grease.

What kind of tranny oil do i use for a 1992 5.0 mustang manual not automatic is it gear or atf?
Mercon ATF, sometimes also labeled DexronIII/Mercon, as they are very similar and meet many of the same specifications, was specified for your car originally. However, you may have a hard time finding ATF marked in either of those ways, as Ford has quit licensing both of those applications. Same with General Motors and DexronIII. What I would recommend, if you can't find regular Mercon, is to drain and re-fill your trans with MerconV, and use that from now on. MerconV is a synthetic blend or a full synthetic, depending on who you believe.
Drain by opening the drain plug;

and fill through the fill plug;
http://repairguide.autozone.com/znetrgs/鈥?/a>
______________________________________鈥?br>
If the fluid is to be drained, it is a good idea to warm the fluid first so it will flow better. This can be accomplished by 15-20 miles of highway driving. Fluid which is warmed to normal operating temperature will flow faster, drain more completely and remove more contaminants from the housing.
1. Drive the vehicle to assure the fluid is at normal operating temperature.
2. Raise and support the vehicle safely on jackstands. Remember that the vehicle must be supported level (usually at four points) so the proper amount of fluid can be added.
3. Place a drain pan under the transmission housing, below the drain plug. Remember that the fluid will likely flow with some force at first (arcing outward from the transmission), and will not just drip straight downward into the pan. Position the drain pan accordingly and move it more directly underneath the drain plug as the flow slows to a trickle.
4. Remove the drain plug and allow the transmission fluid to drain out.
The transmission drain plug is usually a square receiver which is designed to accept a3/8in. driver such as a ratchet or extension.
5. Once the transmission has drained sufficiently, install the the drain plug.
6. Remove the filler plug, and fill the transmission to the proper level with the required fluid. The fluid level should be even with the bottom of the filler hole.
7. Reinstall the filler plug once you are finished, but DO NOT overtighten it and damage the housing.
8. Remove the jackstands and carefully lower the vehicle.What kind of tranny oil do i use for a 1992 5.0 mustang manual not automatic is it gear or atf?

I have a 2004 harley sportster custom 1200. I see and have read how to change the oil.for both motor & gear bo
I heard and dont want to sound like a dork ... but there are two oil resourvors.. But both take the same oil... Can anyone tell me how to change oil in both... for the gear box and the motor.?I have a 2004 harley sportster custom 1200. I see and have read how to change the oil.for both motor %26amp; gear bo
One is the oil tank and the other is the primary drive. Yes you can put the same oil in both, assuming you are using the harley synthetic. Automotive ATF also works good in the primary, but harley may void your warranty if you try it. I've used it for years and never had a problem.
Harley makes a specialized fluid for the primary, that is cheaper than the synthetic motor oil. Why pay more than you have to? If your primary has no leaks you dont have to worry about adding fluid anyways.
Anyways, to change your motoroil, look on the bottom towards the rear, on the primary side of the frame. The oil drain line is connected to the frame there. Put a mat and an oil pan under it and pull it off the frame and let the oil drain out. You will also have to change your oil filter, located on the front of the engine case. Beware, there is no way of changing it without making a mess. Use old rags and a drain pan or mat. The filter unscrews and comes right off. Before screwing on the new filter, rub a thin coating of oil on the rubber seal, and half fill the filter with oil. Yes some will spill out as you screw it back on, so keep your old rags handy.
The primary has a drain plug at the bottom. Put ur pan under the hole and remove the plug. Next remove the derby cover (the big round cover on the side of the primary). After the fluid is drained out, clean the metal shavings off the magnetic drain plug, and reinstall. If necessary put a thin layer of silicon around the drain plug to prevent leaking. Pour in the new primary fluid and put derby cover back on. Note: While you're in there you should check the adjustment of your primary chain. I recommend installing an M6 chain tensioner to avoid having to check the chain in the future, just put it in there and forget it. Your operators guide is helpful in minor stuff like this. I also suggest you get a repair manual. Minor maintenance isn't so difficult, and the shops charge an arm an a leg for this stuff, (and still get it wrong sometimes).I have a 2004 harley sportster custom 1200.

I have a 03 intrepid, in gear with brake applied and stopped the idle will slowly drop to 600 rpm's and the oil light comes on. put it in nuetral and it goes out as soon as rpm's go around 750? WTF? Help, is it the oil pump?Intrepid oil light at idle in gear comes on.?
that may also be the oil pump pick up tube getting stopped up on it and causing that too happen,first see if you can get someone with a manual gage to try and see how much oil pressure its actually holding,then if that doesn't help, replace the sending unit on it,as a last resort you may have to pull the oil pan and clean it all out ,those was bad to stop up and cause that problem too happen,i got an 02 model to do this week for the same problem and we already determined its the oil pan full of sludge causing this too happen,try the sending unit first though its a lot cheaper and easier than removing the oil pan and cleaning it all out,and that could be the pressure relief valve in the oil pump going bad also,good luck.Intrepid oil light at idle in gear comes on.?
Most likely the oil pressure sending unit connector needs to modified. There is a technical service bulletin for this problem. Most Chrysler and Dodge dealers can fix it for $60-100 in less than an hour. I doubt it is your pump or pickup, unless you don't change the oil often or it is over 150,000 miles.
It is possible you have a bad oil pump, but you may want to check the oil strainer to make sure it is not partially clogged up. I worked on one with similar problems and it was a clogged oil strainer.
Spend a few bucks to get the pressure checked with a remote gauge at a repair shop. If the sender is just defective, it will be an easy fix. If the pressure really is low, you ain't gonna like the repair cost, I promise.

What does the oil level light on toyota emina mean is it gear box or engine or stearing?
Hi
The oil light is NOT a level indicator, it is a PRESSURE indicator and it is indicating that the engine oil pressure is DANGEROUSLY low!!
This can be due to a low oil level, a worn oil pump, but it can also be due to a very worn engine,which can be due to running the vehicle for too long with a low oil level, so its all linked in one way or another, but primarily, the oil light indicates low oil pressure, not low oil level.
99% of the time, when this light comes on it is too late, but you may want to check your oil level, and if its overly low, top it up. You will however need to keep an eye on it because if you do look after your car then something must be happening to the oil, such as a leak for instance, or any of the above.
If you are not mechanically minded then take your car to someone who is and they can sort it out for you or you will wind up needing a new engine or a rebuild if it is financially viable.
Just as a matter of interest, if the oil light only comes on as you are cornering or as you brake or accelerate, then this will be due to a pressure drop due to a low oil level wherein the oil is surging away from the oil pump pick up and the pickup is pumping air instead of oil, straight into the big end bearing shells, and this in turn causes the big ends to crash land on the bearing shells and I'll leave the rest to your imagination, but its not good!!

GeordieWhat does the oil level light on toyota emina mean is it gear box or engine or stearing?
usually the engine- try not to drive it and get some oil pronto!
take it as a good time to check your other levels too dude.What does the oil level light on toyota emina mean is it gear box or engine or stearing?
Engine. If you keep driving with that oil light on, you'll be buying a new engine instead of a bottle of oil.
The mian oil light on the dashboard usually refers to the engine oil. Seek assistance immediately, don't continue to drive it. If there is a problem, you could ruin your engine.

The oil light is NOT a level indicator, it is a PRESSURE indicator and it is indicating that the engine oil pressure is DANGEROUSLY low!!
This can be due to a low oil level, a worn oil pump, but it can also be due to a very worn engine,which can be due to running the vehicle for too long with a low oil level, so its all linked in one way or another, but primarily, the oil light indicates low oil pressure, not low oil level.
99% of the time, when this light comes on it is too late, but you may want to check your oil level, and if its overly low, top it up. You will however need to keep an eye on it because if you do look after your car then something must be happening to the oil, such as a leak for instance, or any of the above.

How do i change my oil fluid in my renault scenic 2.0 lt automatic gear box?
There is a drain plug on the scenic auto box
drain oil and refill with 4.00 ltrs of recommended grade
if you email me via my profile with the year of your car I can check the correct grade for youHow do i change my oil fluid in my renault scenic 2.0 lt automatic gear box?
For the automatic transmission there is not a drain plug. You will have to suck the trans fluid out of the dipstick or take the pan and replace the gasket.
I would recommend taking it to a shop where they can suck out the trans fluid.

Is the engine oil liquid the same thing as the gear box liquid?or are they in 2 different places?
i recently serviced my bike and i read somewhere that the gear box required liquid too.however my service garage didnt not put any.is there a seperate place for this or is the same as the engine oil liquidIs the engine oil liquid the same thing as the gear box liquid?or are they in 2 different places?
Most non Jap bikes and many Jap bikes have tranny and engine oil separate. Some will even have a separate oil running in primary. I own 29 bikes at the present and the only ones that have motor oil and tranny oil integrated are all Hondas.Is the engine oil liquid the same thing as the gear box liquid?or are they in 2 different places?
On cars, the gear box and engine oil are often shared.
In cars they are ALMOST ALWAYS different. At least they are separated even when they are the same type of oil
In my 94 Civic, the gear box takes engine oil. But even so, they are completely separated. Changing the oil does NOT change the oil in the gearbox.
===
Usually gearbox oil is thicker.
Good luck...
it depends most jap bikes the engine %26amp; gearbox are one unit so its same oil , old brits used to have separate gear box, if you told people what bike you had they would be able to answer better instead of generalizing.
we have 60 bikes in our bike club including ducati, yamaha,honda, suzuki,kawasaki, new triumph's %26amp; harlie all runing one oil as engine gearbox is one unit, i have suzuki, yamaha %26amp; honda, ALL ROAD BIKE'S- NOT OFF ROAD BIKES,
Always give year, make, engine size and model # when asking questions. We need all of that info to give an informed answer.
The majority of 4 stroke motorcycle engines, the engine and gear box share the same oil (liquid).
Honda makes dirt bikes that have separate areas for engine oil and gear box oil.
I have a Honda Shadow Aero and engine and transmission oil are the same . When you change the oil it goes to both.However some motorcycles have different oil for transmission and engine.
I think it's the same on a 4 stroke engine. Call the dealer, find out the weight of the oil for future knowledge.
some motors share engine and gearbox oil, others have separate tanks.
for example, my 1991 xr250r has just one oil tank, but in 1996 they changed to a dry sump design with separate tanks

Let me be more specific. what weight oil goes in a gear box of a 1989 Yamaha YZ 125cc?
i don't know off hand but thats why there is a manual and if you don't have one, call the dealerLet me be more specific. what weight oil goes in a gear box of a 1989 Yamaha YZ 125cc?
IIRC, the YZ125 doesn't have separate gearbox and crankcase oil. If that is, indeed, correct, you should be good with 10W40 or similar. If you're planning on running in really cold temps, try 5W20, or really hot, 15W40. It shouldn't really matter too much if you're changing oil as much as you should.
Refer to the OM for the oil change intervals, but I probably wouldn't want to go too much more than 2 rides, or 5-10 hours, before changing out the oil.Let me be more specific. what weight oil goes in a gear box of a 1989 Yamaha YZ 125cc?
What the book says. 10w30 will protect better now days than 50w twenty years ago, and flows through tight spaces much better. I've used Mobile1 for forty years and never lost an engine.
Typically, on a bike that small, it's 10w30 or 10w40.
20/50 in warm weather and 10/40 in cold weather.

What wt. oil in gear case?
o4' YZ 85...dealer says 10/40 ? thinking it should be a bit heavier...any ideas??
ps running 80 in the rm 125What wt. oil in gear case?
10 40 works wellWhat wt. oil in gear case?
Are you in a warm climate, or running this as a track bike?? IF not, you should always stick to the oils that are recommended stock, for tyhis is what the designers had in mind, the 10-40. Fuel mileage and power, and sometimes ease of shifting, will suffer if you put a thicker viscocity oil in than whats supposed too be.
Although, If you want too add anything extra special, I would change it out for some synthetic oil, which is ALWAYS better.discount makeup

2001 Toyota Tacoma speed 4x4Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer and gear lube question ?
NO, NO, NO! Do not use that crap at all! First off, all engine/transmission oil additives are a scam, that's why a number of manufacturers were taken to court by the Federal Trade Commission (settled out of court by paying millions of dollars in fines). Secondly, Lucas in particular, affects the anti-foaming properties of whatever fluid it is added to, rendering those agents useless. The net result is equivalent to a washing machine with too much detergent added. Not a desirable condition from a lubrication/ fluid power point of view!

There is no permanent maintenance for this tractor, coz its very old one whether it was refurnished some 5 years back, I can easily assume that you would have used proper oil and it is not over flowed and no water in it, coz these petty things you also can take care of.
it is certainly due to the temparature thing, when any automobile is very old, its capacity for cooling is reduced automatically, when it start up I can tell you sitting here, it would be starting after much time, coz instatly its engine is not warm, but soon as it is started, it began to heat up, and as it is heated up, temparature of your oil also increases, and viscocity is then reducing, coz we all know viscocity of engine oil is too high, which is usefull to make all parts run smoothly even on high temparature when parts n bearings moves, but as engine is hot instantly, its viscocity is lowered dow and this cause increase in volume of oil and which is not fitted into oil box and it oozes out along with foams created due to that temparature, you sahould get rid of it, I know some one who want to buy this sort of tractor, you can contact him and buy a new one.
I would check the oil filter, or lines if it has an external one.
when it foams you have alot of water in the oil, some how it got in, you will have to drain it and change filter. then fill it up again to see if that worked, dont run it untill you have done it

Dose a lancer 2003 manual gear need any oil change for the gear system?
yesDose a lancer 2003 manual gear need any oil change for the gear system?
Yes. The oil in the gearbox is very heavy. It is gear oil and has a weight of 85W-140. It is NOT the same type of oil as is in the crankcase, which is much thinner (5W-30 up to 20W-50) and flows much more easily. You should change the transmission oil every 25,000 miles or about every year. It gets no carbon by-products in it as a result of burning gasoline, but it will eventually get small particles of iron in it as the gears wear against each other. If the seals are old and dried-out, you might also get water in your trans, and that's a bummer, too.

it is certainly due to the temparature thing, when any automobile is very old, its capacity for cooling is reduced automatically, when it start up I can tell you sitting here, it would be starting after much time, coz instatly its engine is not warm, but soon as it is started, it began to heat up, and as it is heated up, temparature of your oil also increases, and viscocity is then reducing, coz we all know viscocity of engine oil is too high, which is usefull to make all parts run smoothly even on high temparature when parts n bearings moves, but as engine is hot instantly, its viscocity is lowered dow and this cause increase in volume of oil and which is not fitted into oil box and it oozes out along with foams created due to that temparature, you sahould get rid of it, I know some one who want to buy this sort of tractor, you can contact him and buy a new one.
I would check the oil filter, or lines if it has an external one.
when it foams you have alot of water in the oil, some how it got in, you will have to drain it and change filter. then fill it up again to see if that worked, dont run it untill you have done it
Dose a lancer 2003 manual gear need any oil change for the gear system?
yesDose a lancer 2003 manual gear need any oil change for the gear system?
Yes. The oil in the gearbox is very heavy. It is gear oil and has a weight of 85W-140. It is NOT the same type of oil as is in the crankcase, which is much thinner (5W-30 up to 20W-50) and flows much more easily. You should change the transmission oil every 25,000 miles or about every year. It gets no carbon by-products in it as a result of burning gasoline, but it will eventually get small particles of iron in it as the gears wear against each other. If the seals are old and dried-out, you might also get water in your trans, and that's a bummer, too.
Automatic transmissions use a light hydraulic oil, which is completely different from gear oil.Dose a lancer 2003 manual gear need any oil change for the gear system?
hello. Im a vehicle engineer. Not only lancer, but also every other cars and machines need oil for their gear boxes. If your car is second hand, if you feel that can not easily change your gear, on of the solution can be changing oil, This fault can come from clutch system and .... If you would like tell me more that I can exactly get what is your problem.

I know its a girlie question but can someone tell me how to check my gear box oil on my vauxhall corsa.thanx.?
Go get yourself a haynes manual for your car. It'll tell you definitely how to check the transmission oil and walk you through a whole host of other car maintenance jobs and even some major repairs.
Start small, and build up your confidence. You might enjoy working on the car yourself, and you'll certainly save a fortune on garage bills as long as your careful to follow the instructions.I know its a girlie question but can someone tell me how to check my gear box oil on my vauxhall corsa.thanx.?
Hi,you will be best doing what I do go to a garage %26amp; let them do it.I know its a girlie question but can someone tell me how to check my gear box oil on my vauxhall corsa.thanx.?
Get an expert to do it for you.
There is a plug in it, remove the plug, on level ground, fill till it comes out of the hole
Small bolt on the side of it, you need a special key to get it out so you need to take it to a garage, wont cost much though and a 5 minute job.
undo the filler nut on the side of the gearbox, get some gear oil and squeeze some in until it overflows, not hard at all, no need to get ripped off by some mechanics!
ok if its manual htere is no dipstick , theres is 2 bolts on the front side of gearbox(allen bolts if i remember correct) undo the bootom one and usiing a special filler( halfruads) fill it untill the oil leaks out the hole and thats it (gear oil) if its an auto then their is a dipstick just take the measure from that
mr?
There are 2 dipsticks under the hood, one for engine oil, the other for your transmission. Transmission dipsticks are usually the one further back. If the car is manual, pull the dipstick out, wipe it off with a clean towel, reinsert it and check the level. It should be between the 2 lines. If the car is automatic, do the same thing, but while the car is on and has been running for several minutes.
Depending if you hgave an automatic there is a seperate oil dipstick under the bonnet usally a black topped one,
(the engine oil is a yellow one) making sure the car is at running tempreture switch off engine let stand for ten minutes then check, otherwise it is a bolt on the side of the gearbox situated about two thirds up (about 17mm) remove this and if no oil leakage then top up with gear box oil ( if you get one of those horrible bottles with a pull up spout i would buy a length of plastic tube that fits into the filler hole insert a funnel and use them as trying to do it with the bottle can be clumsey and very messy ) on topping up you do so untill starts to trickle out so a bit at a time is the best bet, if you need more than a litre bottle you need to question why.
You could always go to a spares shop and take a peek at a haynes manual then once you know put it back get the stuff you need, saves you about 拢19 buying a book that you might look at once in a while.
To fill a vauxhall gearbox you need to get underthe vehicle about halfway up there is a bolt which is a bung this needs to be taken out you then remove the breather from the top ( it looks like a black tophat) then you pour the correct grade of oil into the gearbox until it comes out of the bung hole then you replace the bung and replace the breather
I would buy a haynes manual and if you havent any mechanical experiance try and find a decent mechanic that does jobs in his spare time
It is a pretty awkward task as the gearbox oil is generally accessed from under the car. Don't attempt it unless you are fairly competent at this.

Way has my gear box oil?
covered with fine filings and the indentation full of the plug cove rd in a smooth silver paste and i get a grinding sound when i dip the clutch to change gear and when the clutch is risen help me some pleaseWay has my gear box oil?
oh oh, sounds terminal.
likely that a bearing has collapsed or something similarly nasty.
get it to a garage pronto, just incase something can be done before it all grinds itself to bits
if its just the clutch thrust bearing, you might get lucky, but the swarf in the oil will destory every other component in there quite quicklyWay has my gear box oil?
The filings are actually your gear teeth worn off, and plug is magnetic and attracts the smaller finely ground metal and as its mixed with transmission oil its a paste like substance.
It sounds like you have damaged the edges of the gears, so as they mesh they are catching on each other hence the grinding sound. Short of having a new/recon gearbox there is nothing you can do.
Is the noise when you dip the clutch or move the gear lever?
A small amount of metal in the oil and plug is perfectly acceptable, also make sure your clutch cable is adjusted correctly as it might just not be completely seperating the 2 plates.
All gearboxes produce swarf its not a problem most heavy commercial gearboxes have either magnetic pellet in drain plug or mag plates in box to pull this out of the drive train.Does the grinding happen just when you press the clutch or when you try to select a gear.If it happens when you just press the clutch and don't touch the gear lever then its the thrust bearing if its when you select a gear either syncro baulk rings worn,mainshaft bearings worn or the clutch is not fully breaking the drive train.If clutch is adjustable give it a bit more clearance if not sounds like a new clutch
The iron powder that you've found on the magnet is not a problem and is normal.
Most manufactures don't bother put a magnet on the filler plug as owner drivers panic when they see it covered in fillings, Fords install it in the bottom of the gearbox where it's only see when the gearbox is stripped down.
Regarding your noise when you dip you're clutch, does it make a noise if the engine isn't running? If not it sound as if your clutch release bearing is noisy and your clutch may be on it's last legs.
The grinding sound when you depress and release the pedal(ONLY if it does it w/o changing gears-which is how I took your explanation) is likely a bad throw-out bearing- will usually ';shake'; the pedal, also
If it's only happening when you change gears, it's internal trans.repair time ! A little ';paste'; is normal (all trannys will wear some, in order to ';break in';), but if you have slivers of metal, your tranny has internal damage/wear that needs to be addressed, soon !
If your clutch is not engaging then your clutch has gone. Either that or your bearings, pop it into a garage and let them tell you. Make sure you tell them not to do anything without askig you 1st though else you'll end up with a big bill!
Sometimes this is normal

Outboard Motor Gear Box oil change.?
Hi, I am old and not very strong. The two machine screws that have to be removed are too tight for me to budge. I have sprayed them with penetrating oil, and have bought the biggest screwdriver that I can get locally (250x12mm) but still no luck. Would it be easier to budge them if I run the engine to get them hot? Perhaps there are some tricks of the trade that you could share with me? Thanks for reading and please help if you have any answers.Outboard Motor Gear Box oil change.?
Make sure the leg of the outboard is well supported in a horizontal position, now assuming you are right handed, grasp the screwdriver in your left hand and fit it to the screw concerned.
While keeping a good tight hold on the screwdriver and applying an anti-clockwise twist at the same time, give the top of the screwdriver a tap with a reasonable sized hammer.
What you are doing is simulating an 'impact wrench' and will normally get those leg screws undone - they are not over tight but the oil seal can make them stick.Outboard Motor Gear Box oil change.?
I am only 13 but it might help.
First dont heat them coz metal expands when it get hot, and that willjust be eve harder.
secondly you want to get somegood leverage, like put a mole-grip on the handle of your screwdriver (put it on at 90 degress, like %26gt;%26gt;%26gt; 卢)
or like get a screwdriver with a hole in the hadle so you stick a rod through it.
antything to get more leverage.
thats how i take the spark plugg out of my moped and screw it back in tight.
If there's a vent hole into the gear box, I'd get the oil real hot and try to suck it out of the vent hole with a quality ';transfer pump';. Then refill with a quality synthetic gear box oil and the motor gears will last forever.
Put a small cresent wrench on the blade of the screwdriver and use it to get more leverage. Running the engine to get it hot won't help because it won't get that hot and if it's not in water you will ruin your engine.
try this trick ,it has worked for me in the past more than one occasion.
try to tighten the screw(s) first than try to loosen them
running the motor might help after it has cooled back down but try to work the screws while it's coolingdiscount makeup

There has to be a leak in a line, the gaskets, or the case. Because of the nature of automatic transmissions, there is not fluid reservoir that can be monitored for level that way that engine can. You need to get the car to a shop and have it diagnsoed.

Gear/transmission oil?
sae10w30se is the recommended gear oil but I can鈥檛 find the stupid stuff any where is there anything else I can put in that will increase the performance or work just as well (its a tzr 50 2003 2 stroke)Gear/transmission oil?
Use Type ';F'; ATF,,,aka Ford-type automatic transmission fluid.
Or,,if you can find it %26amp; wanna spend the money...
BelRay Gear Saver 75w .
is hard to beat.
Hard to beleive here in the 21st century,,,
people are still being told to pour Engine Oil into Transmissions.
If you prefer to continue using Engine oil,,,
keep in mind that oil has changed a bit since 1950's when the Japs started using it because thats all they had.
Lots of oils are bad news for modern clutch friction compounds.
Careful which one you use.
ATF is ';Extreme Duty Clutch Oil';,,,always has been.
Thats what its designed for,
So,,,any ATF is Clutch-SafeGear/transmission oil?
yamahas own 10/40 will do...by the way the tzr50 doesnt have ''gearbox oil'' as such...its engine oil....as for the performance NO motor oil will make it go faster...remove restrictions from the exsaust pipe,carb and ecu....then it will ''fly''...well as much as a 50cc bike can that is...
This will be fine for your bike;

1977 yamaha DT250 GEAR BOX OIL?
IS THERE A SEPERATE SPOT TO PUT GEAR BOX OIL OR IS THAT RUN ON YA NORMAL MOTOR OIL....1977 yamaha DT250 GEAR BOX OIL?
Gear box oil should be a high grade motor oil with good shear protection. Kendal GT 10w-40 is a good choice. Don't mistake the gear box oil with the oil injection oil for the 2-stroke engine. That goes into a separate place and is a different oil.1977 yamaha DT250 GEAR BOX OIL?
The plug for the gearbox oil is on the..........gearbox! There might be a dipstick integral with the filler cap, but don't worry if there isn't - because the gearbox oil doesn't do the motor as well, as it does on 4-strokes, it never gets very dirty and there is often something seriously wrong if the level changes very much over time. Don't forget to keep checking the motor oil level regularly - that's the one that goes down steadily on a 2-stroke. If you run out, it's death to your motor.

IF the shaft seals are in good shape use 90w or 85-140w gear oil . if the seals are leaking pack the case with bearing grease.

Gear box oil what can i use????help!!!?
can engine oil be used in a gear box?what would happen if it were done?Gear box oil what can i use????help!!!?
Gear box as in differential, or transmission? Either one, no.
Transmissions use something like 80-90W, or auto tranny fluid like my Beemer did.
Diffs usually take 90W hypoid.
BUT, this varies. You need to find out what is supposed to be in there. Since you didn't mention what year and car you have, I don't know.Gear box oil what can i use????help!!!?
some honda transmissions run on engine oil, but as others mentioned, wthout knowing what car or transmission style it is, theres no easy way to answer. most manual boxes use hypoid. if you're after automatic tranmission oil, go to any petrol station and on the oil shelf there will be ATF (automatic transmission fluid) some types also state that they can be used in power steering systems too.
I cannot say year make model and miles please? Manual or auto trans? Like asking a doctor to be blind folded and wearing mittens and ear plugs. to diagnosis your condition Some trnasmissions can live on motor oil some will fail almost right away.
hard to say. no, you can't use engine oil, but there are a number of fluids that go into gear boxes depeding on the manufacturer and model.
gl4, gl5, gl5s, gearlube, ATF
i do not think moter oil will damage your transmission,how ever you should drain it and replace with proper oil.
no engine oil! it either uses transmission oil or 90 weight gear oil.

Can any one tell me where i put oil in gear box for skoda felicia?
in the gearboxCan any one tell me where i put oil in gear box for skoda felicia?
under neath car in centre,car must be level up on ramps ,,kwik-fit do it for small charge.Can any one tell me where i put oil in gear box for skoda felicia?
First, remove the threaded plug where you check the level of oil in the gear box. The car should be on a level surface or vehicle lift. Then stick your finger in the hole and see if the oil comes up to the level of the hole. If not, squirt some oil into the hole from the plastic squeeze bottle that the new oil comes in when you buy it.
Consult your vehicle handbook, that`s where you will find the answer and diagrams showing the way.
The best place usually if you cant see a filler hole is to remove the speedometer shaft and fill it to the required level via the stud. But a garage wouldnt charge you a fortune to do it properly and less messy for you.
in the handbook or ask a skoda dealer they should tell you or info on the web
The first thing you need for this task is a Haynes manual for the vehicle, the vehicle handbook wont cover topping up the gearbox oil as it might require a special tool to remove the plug, next you need to make sure you have the right grade of oil as manufacturers have changed the types of oils used in transmissions as technology developes. make sure the vehicle is on level ground and remove the plug, get a split pin and bend one leg at 90 degrees, then bend that at 90 degrees again about 1'; from the end, this makes a little dipstick that you can stick in to the gearbox and check the level of the oil in the box. If the oil touches the stick your fine as you dont want to overfill the transmission as this will cause excessive pressure and blow seals. If it needs topping up simply add a bit of oil and then check with your dipstick until the oil touches the bottom of the dipstick

The best place usually if you cant see a filler hole is to remove the speedometer shaft and fill it to the required level via the stud. But a garage wouldnt charge you a fortune to do it properly and less messy for you.
in the handbook or ask a skoda dealer they should tell you or info on the web
The first thing you need for this task is a Haynes manual for the vehicle, the vehicle handbook wont cover topping up the gearbox oil as it might require a special tool to remove the plug, next you need to make sure you have the right grade of oil as manufacturers have changed the types of oils used in transmissions as technology developes. make sure the vehicle is on level ground and remove the plug, get a split pin and bend one leg at 90 degrees, then bend that at 90 degrees again about 1'; from the end, this makes a little dipstick that you can stick in to the gearbox and check the level of the oil in the box. If the oil touches the stick your fine as you dont want to overfill the transmission as this will cause excessive pressure and blow seals. If it needs topping up simply add a bit of oil and then check with your dipstick until the oil touches the bottom of the dipstick

Replaced pwr steering pump in 01 dodge 2500 now its leaking oil from back of gear box any ideas?
if its got air in the lines it will cause it to force fluid out through the seals,try bleeding the air off the system and see if the leak stops they usually will ,unless you had a leak in the gear box to start with it should stop leaking once all the air is bleed from it,i have had this happen a lot good luckReplaced pwr steering pump in 01 dodge 2500 now its leaking oil from back of gear box any ideas?

What type of oil goes in my gear box of my 01 yamaha blaster?
Quality, brand name, 10W40, 4 stroke motor oil.What type of oil goes in my gear box of my 01 yamaha blaster?
You can use a dedicated transmission oil such as Bel-Ray gear-saver, but Yamaha actually recommends 10w30 motor oil for your Blaster's gearbox.

Oil is coming out of gear case vent what could be the problem?
If you're not willing to give any sort of details, you should expect answers that make no sense.
Good luck.Oil is coming out of gear case vent what could be the problem?
It's over filled. If it's an automatic the fluid level is checked with the engine running and in park. We really need more detail.
If you are talking about a transfer case in a 4WD then the seal between the gearbox and transfer case is blown and the gearbox oil is leaking into the transfer case and overfilling it.Oil is coming out of gear case vent what could be the problem?
you are not giving me much to work with, if it is over full it can start to leak out of any hole that is below the level. or if the box gets over heated, any of the oil that has vaporized will leave through that same hole again.
i,ll take a guess because your not telling me very much. it could be overfilled.discount makeup

How do i change gear box oil on a 2000 2.7 manual terrano?
The drain plug is on the bottom of the gearbox, the filler %26amp; level plug is on the nearside of the box.
Drive the vehicle to warm up the oil, then drain %26amp; allow to completely empty. Replace drain plug %26amp; refill with 3.5 litres of API GL-4 oil.
Let me know if you need further info.

Wait for JG's answer, he's your Terrano person!
rwb: If you mean the old Rover 5 speed manual box, the problem many people had with them is they replaced the oil with EP90's, they should be filled with TQF (automatic transmission fluid)
There you go....How do i change gear box oil on a 2000 2.7 manual terrano?
It probably has no drain plug so it will have to be pumped out through the fill hole and then reflled through the same hole till it overflows a little.
So much easier to get a garage to do it.
Are you sure it has to be done - most gearboxes do not need oil changes.
I believe some gearboxes can be damaged by changing the oil.
I'd look seriously into the matter before deciding to change it.
jack it up slide under look for drain plug most do have one on bottom and fills thru plug on side of ive myself have never replace mine just added to it and most of my cars or trucks like my car now has over 300,000 woul dbe easy and just has cheap to pay to have it done
An impeccable answer from JG.
But I would just add that BEFORE draining anything, make sure you can get the filler nut off!

I can't figure why my 96 Lumina runs, very rough, but stops when I put it in gear, & my oil light stays on.
I have a 96 Lumina, which just started making a terrible noise as I was driving. When I pulled over I thought I had blown my engine, but a good samaritan, trying to help suggested that my engine had not blown and that my coil packs, or module had gone bad. After replacing them, it runs, but very badly and when I put it in gear it stops abruptly and my oil light stays on. I am no mechanic but I believe it might be the oil pump or the timing chain. Could it be one of them or what else could it be?
Thank you.I can't figure why my 96 Lumina runs, very rough, but stops when I put it in gear, %26amp; my oil light stays on.
If you ran it with the oil pressure light on, you've toasted it. Rings are seized and valves are sticking. That good Samaritan cost you a lot of money for coil packs by pretending to know more than he did. Don't spend another dime before you do a compression check, and don't ever drive a vehicle with no oil pressure.I can't figure why my 96 Lumina runs, very rough, but stops when I put it in gear, %26amp; my oil light stays on.
Low oil level or bad pump

Timing gear sprocket broke oil shot out out of engine somewhere what couldve caused this?
it is a 2001 toyota tundra v6 engine showed no signs of oil leaking driving down road engine started stuttering really bad
all the oil shot out dont know where it came from really baffled
what couldve cause thisTiming gear sprocket broke oil shot out out of engine somewhere what couldve caused this?
look for a hole in the engine block side if there is none ,then You are lucky guy.
if you see a piece of metal hang in there, is what they called connecting rod.( or what it last from it)Timing gear sprocket broke oil shot out out of engine somewhere what couldve caused this?
either the timing gear sprocket broke the valve or timing cover or cam/crank seal, or if its variable valve timing, it came from the sprocket itself as the variable timing is oil driven inside the sprocket.
