Pink Oil?

Featured Replies

I have not long acquired a 94 Techno 250, the clutch was acting up and not releasing, So I decided to fit a new clutch pack. When I drained the old oil, it has a very pink colour. I know that water in oil will make it milky, is there a brand of oil out there that acts this way with water or is it a colour of some brand of oil? I guess that if it is water, then the water pump seal would be leaking? Any ideas would be appreciated! thanks

Hi mate there is an oil called IPONE this goes very pink if mixed with water, the best stuff ive been recommended to use in my rev-3 is a semi synth of good quality. The water pump seal will prob be the solution or you may have alot of corrosion inside the casing which can get so bad it eats its way completelly through!!!

At a guess it's probably Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) rather than standard engine oil which a lot of riders use and is red in colour.

It'll be ATF for sure, I use it and had no problems. Find it better than anything else I've tried.

Defianately Automatic transmission Fluid(ATF).Use it in my 98 techno with no probs.
