    Mixing 80w BelRay gearsaver with Rotella T4 15w/40

    Just before leaving someone on a KTM forum posted that ATF works well in small two stroke motor gear boxes and very well with the Rekluse clutch. Turns out BelRay Gearsaver 80w and ATF look, smell and feel the same. So I topped up the BelRay with 200ml of ATF and the clutch worked perfectly all...

    Mixing 80w BelRay gearsaver with Rotella T4 15w/40

    And I should also say I'm talking about doing this for a 4 hour ride only, will change oil and use the gearsaver when the shop opens Tuesday.

    Mixing 80w BelRay gearsaver with Rotella T4 15w/40

    I've got a question about oil in my ktm 300 two stroke snowbike. I'm set to ride tomorrow morning and I normally run BelRay 80w gearsaver transmission oil (specifically made for use in two stroke dirt bikes) in the gearbox/wet clutch of the bike. Problem is that I only have 600ml and I need...

    2007 LBZ Duramax burning 5/40 Mobil Syn

    I have already done the EGR block and am on the fence for the PCV reroute...not sure which way to go on that one so for now, nothing. As you hint at, these things can be major money and time pits and I have reached my limit for now. I am very happy with the improve mileage and performance of...

    2007 LBZ Duramax burning 5/40 Mobil Syn

    I completely agree...we do have a commuter vehicle and the LBZ was bought for towing our 25' camper with a slide during the summer. The winter months bring shorter trips when my wife has the commuter. 3 times a week all year long I drive an hour of highway miles, summer it sees lots of towing...

    2007 LBZ Duramax burning 5/40 Mobil Syn

    Ok, thanks guys. I am hoping I can get the block heater issue with the LBZ figured out. When I plug the truck in at temps warmer than 0F the truck throws codes that change the shift points of the tranny. Royal PITA. If I can get this issue fixed I will go with the 15/40 as I have a bunch of it...

    2007 LBZ Duramax burning 5/40 Mobil Syn

    As it turns out, the last 4000 miles has seen no trailering at all, those burned 2 quarts were just from around town and a number of 400 mile trips. I am curious to see how much oil it does burn when we start towing lots. The computer tells me I have 50% oil usage left before the next...

    2007 LBZ Duramax burning 5/40 Mobil Syn

    I have an '07 LBZ Duramax with 78K miles that I bought from a fellow I know. When I bought the truck, he told me it had never burned any oil and he was running 15/40 dino (I believe him). I live in Southern BC, Canada and winter temps routinely get down to 0 to -4 F with an average of 14F. I do...
