Is there a reasonably inexpensive commercially available (like available for retail purchase) dye that can be added to oil without diminishing the characteristics of the oil or interfering with its function?
I have a motorcycle transmission that leaks enough such that the oil is always clean, I will not be fixing the leak any time soon, and it's really tough to see the clean oil on the dipstick.
I will not be running any of the boutique transmission fluids that have dye in them already. They are sticky, they make a mess, they are not good for the secondary drive belt, they are expensive, and they don't work any better than regular motorcycle oil or HDEO.
Just looking for a dye I can add to the oil every now and then, 20w-50 in winter and SAE 50 in the summer.
