i have resently bought a gas gas txt pro 280 `04 and am not sure what oil to use in the engine (not the oil you put in the petrol). you hear so many stories, and where can i get it from. can anyone help. cheers

Olive oil light as it makes youre bike weigh 1kg lighter. Lard is to be avoided at all costs as it makes the clutch drag from cold.

ATF is about best and cheapest. Its automatic transmission fluid which you can get from any motorist shop. Its thin and works under extreme loads.

Hi there,

For the 04 PRO, use either a mineral oil, 10 weight, or an ATF rated to Dexron III, 450 to 500ml after draining the old oil.

I usually fill mine up with 500ml. I just worked on a new motor from GG that contained 450ml though probably had about 20 to 50 ml still remaining in the cases.

Never use a synthetic oil in the gearbox.

cheers guys, have just bought a load of dextron III. thanks for the info
