I've got a Honda CRF250R. This has a split case with separate oil for the engine and transmission.
I'm looking for a good oil/oils to run in both sides. I've been using Rotella T6 5-40 thus far for both, it seems to work fine. I change engine oil every 20 hours or so, transmission oil when it starts to feel grabby, which is usually around 10 hours.
I've tried ATF type F in the clutch side, it felt too grabby. I'd prefer something cheap for the clutch side as I change it often
On the engine side, it needs to be 5w or lower, otherwise kick starting in the cold (10-20f) is a huge pain.
Kind of lost and spinning my head around with all the different options.
Just realized that I forgot to mention - I'm looking to change oils because Rotella t6 is a bit on the expensive side.
