The tranny fluid is reddish pink like Pepto. don't know the powdered ingredient but it's likely some sort of talcum powder. Takes up or absorbs the shock load and likely helps keep oil adhered to the spinning gears. Working fine for me. Smoother - quieter upon shifts.

 

Fluid change kits are a great marketing tool for oil/fluid manufacturers. I've never used the same brand fluid for the engine primary and trans so a kit doesn't work for me. Just my preference. I've never seen a kit that represents a cost saving over sourcing the filter and fluids independently. At a time when the consuming public places a premium on ordering online and having product delivered to their front door, I'm confident the popularity of these kits will grow. As for me, I'll continue to use a multi brand collection of products (filter, primary fluid, trans fluid and engine oil) and leave my house to purchase these products. Old school. 67 years young.

 

back when I was into high performance atvs, Maxima was the go to oil.

 

 

 

 

I will second the Quicksilver Full synthetic 20w50 motorcycle Oil. I use B&M trick shift tranny fluid in the primary on the recommendation of Energy 1 who's clutch set I have in the bike.and Shock proof for the tranny. I also have a reusable filter on the bike so I don't need to buy filters

I did a lot of reading on the Quicksilver oil. It is made by mercury Marine who has a great reputation for their oils and Fluids. It meets ll the specs.

I can get 3 quarts from my local walmart for what 1 quart of redline or mobile one or even the HD oils cost.

Does paying tripple the price for oil really mean you are getting something better?

 

www.cycleoildirect.com Pick your brand and get a kit with the filter, derby cover gasket, and drainplug o-rings.

 

 

Since you asked, I went with the Red Line kit. I had to order one more quart of Primary lube- no big deal, that "extra" bottle will cover many oil changes. The funnel that came with it is pretty handy.
Plus I got a Red Line cap, and a bunch of stickers. Compared to buying all the bottles of stuff stand alone, it wasn't a bad deal.

Still need to get a filter, and gasket for the primary cover.

I like Red Line so I'll likely stick with it. Prices for the stuff are all over the place, when I need to order, I start searching Amazon, etc... several weeks in advance.
