February 25, 200818 yr Hello all I have just got a beta rev3 in the manual it says use BARDAHL GEARBOX 20W40 oil in the gearbox is this the same as Halfords 20/40 car engine oil? all the best Clive
February 25, 200818 yr I don't think it is, the beta will need very light gear oil or at a push ATF otherwise the clutch will drag
February 25, 200818 yr I don't think it is, the beta will need very light gear oil or at a push ATF otherwise the clutch will drag I was advised to use a good quality automatic transmission fluid too. That was by my local Beta dealer. He also stated that it will help eliminate clutch drag. Just change it every couple of rides and it will be fine. He nor the bike has not let me down yet.......
February 25, 200818 yr Hello all I have just got a beta rev3 in the manual it says use BARDAHL GEARBOX 20W40 oil in the gearbox is this the same as Halfords 20/40 car engine oil? all the best Clive Clive I have always used MT75 spec gear oil in my beta box. It is light weight, fully synthetic heavy load gear oil, and is about half the price of an equivalent motorcycle gear oil. Plus it is a nice red color which goes pink as soon as it gets some water in it so you can see as soon as the water pump seal goes. ,
February 26, 200818 yr Author many thanks for the replies, has anyone used PUTOLINE GP10 in their gearbox regards Clive
February 27, 200818 yr Can anyone tell me the difference between dexron 2 and dexron 3 ATF oil...and which one people use in there rev3...
March 13, 200818 yr So, is anyone going to share the secret of the ATF spec? There seems to be several..
March 14, 200818 yr The times I've tried ATF in a Beta I hated it. I currently use Spectro Golden Gear oil.
March 16, 200818 yr The times I've tried ATF in a Beta I hated it. I couldn't agree more. I have tried ATF twice with horrible results. I have been using Mobile 1 synthethic for some time and find it works great. Being more readily available and cheaper I tend to change the oil much more frequently.

March 19, 200818 yr Can anyone tell me the difference between dexron 2 and dexron 3 ATF oil...and which one people use in there rev3... I've used them both. I didn't felt any difference between them. The feeling of the clutch was the same, the colour of the oil was the same. I'm using dexron 3 now.
March 19, 200818 yr Anyone using the GM transfercase Auto Trac II oil? Works well in my '08. Lucas high performance motor oil semi-synthetic works good too.
