Gear Oil Question
Hi Guys,
Just a quick question. I'm going to change out the gear oil on my G2 as I'm pretty sure that it has never been done. The owner's manual says to use SAE 90w. Went into Advance Auto and they don't carry a 90w oil. Instead, the guy, who I'm pretty sure didn't know what he was talking about, handed me a bottle of Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil that said "75w-90" and said "my guess is that this should work just fine." I wanted to check with the pros on this before I changed it out... thanks! |

Re: Gear Oil Question
I changed mine this summer and used Mobil 1 75w-90. No problems. You'll need RTV blue gasket goop, too.

Re: Gear Oil Question
75w90 is what it takes.

So the cover doesn't leak. The G16 doesn't have a drain plug so the cover has to be removed to drain the rear. Is there a drain plug on the G2? |

Re: Gear Oil Question
How often should one change the crank oil anyway?

Every time it looks dirty. Oil is cheap.
