September 13, 201312 yr Whats the best gear oil to use in my 250. I have just bought a 2006 Pro 250 and my local dealer sent me a service kit and it has Putoline GP10 in it. Is this right as it looks like a ATF red oil in the sight glass ? I obviously dont want to open the bottle in case I have to return it if it's wrong. Thanks in advance
September 14, 201312 yr GP 10 should be OK from a clutch action and gear protection point of view. Some sellers suggest it is only used where ambient temperatures are below 20 degrees celsius and that medium gear oil is the better putoline option above 20 degrees celsius. GP10 has a viscosity of less than 5 centistokes at 100 degrees C. A 10w - 40 engine / transmission oil will have a viscosity of about 11 centistokes at 100 degrees C and this or a medium gear oli will give a smoother and less notch gear change that some gassers suffer from with the less viscous oils like GP10 or ATF.
