Guest scarylarry Posted June 6, 2010 #1 Posted June 6, 2010 Does anyone use super tech gear oil 85W-90, or can it be use might be a better question. Thanks
kantornado Posted June 6, 2010 #2 Posted June 6, 2010 It is manufactured by Sopus Products a Division of Shell oil Company witch includes Pennzoil and Quaker State. Just under the Wal-Mart Super-Tech name. As with all Wal-Mart oils and lubricants. Hope this helps……Ron PS. I use the stuff and have never had a problem with the oils. My last bike went a 187,000 useing Super-Tech oils. The guy who bought the bike is still riding it.
Guest scarylarry Posted June 6, 2010 #3 Posted June 6, 2010 I need to know is it ok to use, or does anyone use..
Wanderer Posted June 6, 2010 #4 Posted June 6, 2010 I need to know is it ok to use, or does anyone use.. Dang Larry, spend a couple of bucks and get the synthetic gear oil.
kantornado Posted June 6, 2010 #5 Posted June 6, 2010 Thought I answered your question. Yes I use the Super-Tech rear end oil in my 02 Midnight Venture and have no problems with it. I have 83,000 miles on her now and plan on going a hundred more. I also use the 20-50 oil and Super-Tech oil Filter and change my oil regular at around 3 to 4,000 miles. I use the anti freeze and Hi pod grease also. If you don't trust it for any reason use some other product. I like Pennzoil and Quaker State products myself and trust there quality no matter who's name is on the bottle........Ron

Guest scarylarry Posted June 7, 2010 #7 Posted June 7, 2010 Dang Larry, spend a couple of bucks and get the synthetic gear oil. I just use mobil-1 and I don't like the way it shifts now, seems to be more of a clunk from 2nd to 3rd at times...
KiteSquid Posted June 7, 2010 #8 Posted June 7, 2010 I need to know is it ok to use, or does anyone use.. You can use it IF it meets the vehicle manufactures specification, which can be found in the owners manual. I don't use it as I prefer to use Synthetic lubricants in my bike.
hig4s Posted June 7, 2010 #9 Posted June 7, 2010 I just use mobil-1 and I don't like the way it shifts now, seems to be more of a clunk from 2nd to 3rd at times... Which type of Mobil 1? You didn't put 85w-90 in your engine? I mean we were talking about rear end gear oil to start with, weren't we?

Guest scarylarry Posted June 7, 2010 #11 Posted June 7, 2010 Thanks guys I will try this it is a GL-5 they say GL-4 or better, which brings me to this s it higher the number the better or worst, meaning if they require GL-4 and you use GL-5 wouldn't that be better?

Just use the GL-5 and you will be fine.
hig4s Posted June 7, 2010 #13 Posted June 7, 2010 No I change the rear oil and use mobil-1, I just don't like it is all... OK, changing the rear end gear oil will not affect how the bike shifts. Did you also change the engine/trans oil? And if so, what weight did you use?
