#471622 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4403 Re:Gear oil questions 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Let's get onefast up to speed. There's 2 engine oil drain plugs. Looks like you found the crankcase one already. The other is on the bottom of the oil tank... pretty far back on the bike, and on the right side. You've already identified the transfer case, and the info here should get you right on track with that, and changing its gear oil. Follow the oil change instructions carefully. Drain from 2 plugs. Put only 2 qts in the oil tank filler and start and run the engine, with a few throttle blips, for 30 seconds or so, and then shut it down. You should then be able to add the second 2 qts in the oil tank. By NO means start and try to run the engine with the oil tank dip stick out. If you do, no one will need to tell you why! Do not ask me how I know this.......   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #471649 greenpus (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2151 Re:Gear oil questions 1 Year, 2 Months ago   I like mobil 1 oil but hate mobil 1 atf and gear oil products. They smell like my dogs rear end ... Seriously. I have a truck that requires atf in the manual tranny and mobil 1 atf met the specs and I tried it. Geeez, did the sulfur stink plus it stunk everytime I drove the truck. It also made my shifting notchy and crappy on the truck. I decided to steer clear of all mobil 1 products after that but I still use the motor oil stuff. Redline gear oil for me. Less stink   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #471651 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5962 Re:Gear oil questions 1 Year, 2 Months ago   greenpus wrote: [quote]I like mobil 1 oil but hate mobil 1 atf and gear oil products.
