Where can I find synthetic 2 stroke gear oil?

I have a good condition 1973 Kawasaki F7 175cc enduro with an air cooled oil injected 2-stroke engine. I am planning on using red-line synthetic 2-stroke oil in the oil tank when most of the conventional oil is gone from the oil tank. But what kind of oil would I use for the gear box or I think its referred to as gear oil. What do I look for when it comes to finding the right synthetic 2-stroke gear oil and what brand? How long should I wait to add the synthetic oil in the oil tank? I want whats best for my oil injected 2-stroke kawasaki enduro. I would greatly appreciate your honest advice.Where can I find synthetic 2 stroke gear oil?
Back in the day we would use ATF, or gear oil in the gearboxes of our two-strokes.





Nowadays, manufacturers recommend the use of 10w30 motor oil in the gearboxes of current 2-strokes and that's what I use. If you feel some marketing guys know more than the people who designed the bikes, then you can get a dedicated gear oil at most bike shops, auto parts stores, Wal-Mart etc...





A synthetic is not a huge advantage in this application. The gearbox does not get particularly hot and when it's cold there's no issue with ';pumpability'; since there's no oil pump... all lubrication is done by the gears splashing the oil around.





Synthetic 2-stroke oil for the engine, though, is a great idea. Highly recommended.





EDIT - That thing about synthetic 2-stroke gumming up your carb is a myth. Modern synthetic 2-stroke oil mixes quite readily with the mineral stuff. Your carb is in no danger and your engine will love you. What will gum up your carb is old unleaded gas, but as long as you ride regularly this should never be a problem.Where can I find synthetic 2 stroke gear oil?
I have heard of trouble with synthetic in the gear box due to the clutch is made for regular oil and if you use synthetic it is too slippery for the clutch and you won't go any where . So ask advice at a kawasaki dealer unless you want to spend more time fixing than riding.


As far as synthetic in the oil injection tank ? If they make it for that ,, use it.
synthetic is fine for your gas oil mix but you want to use the recommended oil in the gear box.....synthetic can make your clutch slip and it is a pain then....have to drain all the oil remove clutch plates and coat with new oil before installing so I would say dont use it in gear box......I have a 74 g5100 kawasaki and I use penzoil 10w30 and it works great....hope this helped
i would suggest using the manf. blend


due to the fact ur oil has special properties included due to the clutches etc ...


i always used yamaha lube in my 4 wheeler


the only other type i would use is penzoils formula


ive trusted penzoil products for years in my trucks and never had a problem
for the gear oil, get the same weight that is recommended in the manual. You can get Synthetic Gear oil at most specialty auto parts places, or Walmart.





Redline brand is fine, so is royal purple, Castrol, AMSoil
Search the internet for the manufacturer's literature
jeeeezzz..





2 stroke oil is for the engine. in 1973 they just used SAE 30 weight oil when they owned a two stroke. If you want to spend the extra money for synthetic, go ahead, but stick to only one brand as mixing oils sometimes gums up the carb. Wait until the tank is good and empty.





When you switch to a synthetic oil you should drain your oil tank if you have a injector bike - run your bike low on fuel if you are pre-mix - then start using the new oil. Be light on the throttle for the first tank so you can build up a film, but remember to stay with the same brand after you make the switch.





GEAR oil is a different story. Just buy a good brand. If your clutch is involved in that oil, you should read this article on why some oil is too slippery.
