Synthetic oil
Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2015 8:26 pm
Hi All,
New to this forum.
Just wanted to know what type of final drive and tranny oil is being used in the R1100R? Dealer says they have been using 75w-140 synthetic.
Not what the book calls out for? The book says either 80 or 90 or 80w-90 Hypoid gear oil depends on where you live. So the question is: can this rig successsfully use synthetic oil without causing leaks? IMO the answer is no, but would like to hear other opinions. My rig has 50k on it. I found that the last time it was serviced I did notice that they used 80w-90. But....... the dealer says 75w140? What the heck?
