February 26, 200818 yr As the title says really. I`m going to have to buy online and may be up for a change of brand from my usual I`ve been using, I`m interested to note what oil you lot use, or recommend There are a variety of different brands, and costs. The HRC recommended one is the ELF one, but at
February 28, 200818 yr I'm using a high grade ATF, bought in bulk from my local motor factor. It's getting changed very frequently (every couple of rides) and I've had no problems so far.
March 18, 200818 yr I need to know how much oil and how to check level. Just got this beauty and want to start out fresh. I will search for a manuel when I have time. thanks for any help, Garfield
March 18, 200818 yr I need to know how much oil and how to check level. Just got this beauty and want to start out fresh. I will search for a manuel when I have time.thanks for any help, Garfield use 500 ml. The only way to check it is to drain it.
March 19, 200818 yr The Montesa manual for my '03, 315R says use 520 ml for an oil change after draining old oil. However, use 550ml if the engine has been disassembled and then reassembled. I too have problem in sourcing the Elf oil. Cost is nearly 30 Pound for two litres and needs to be ordered in. P The problem is that the Elf packaging does not detail the viscosity of the oil. Otherwise it would be easy to find a replacement for it in another brand.

P The problem is that the Elf packaging does not detail the viscosity of the oil. Otherwise it would be easy to find a replacement for it in another brand. The reason for using 500ml is so you can get 4 changes out of a bottle of elf. Some of the technical data is available on their web site. Mobil synthetic atf (if I remember correctly) is close to the same viscocity. I tried it, but didn't like it. I tried GM auto trac II and it works fair. I mixed the auto trac with elf and that works pretty well also.
March 20, 200818 yr use elf atf isnt the same! the clutch works best with the best . dont be a cheapskate.
March 26, 200818 yr I was told by Sandifords to use Silkolene Pro SRG 75 and have had no probs. Had to remortgage the house though!
