Do u put 2 stroke oil in the crankase and if so how much...>?
This type of question comes up all of the time. With a few exceptions, mostly Polarises, there are two types of oil for any two stroke ATV out there. Premix oil and transmisson oil. Premix oil is used for engine lubrication and is mixed with the gas. Transmission oil is self-explanatory. A lot of people use automotive engine oil in their transmissions. Me personally, I have seen some damage from this, and I would never put that garbage in mine. Read this article from Maxima about how auto oil can damage your tranny. Some of the words get covered by a picture, but if you refresh the page frequently, you can finish the reading. Don't be cheap. Use the right stuff, and you won't have any trouble.

Do you believe every adverstisement you see?? They are trying to sell something....so they are definitely not going to say that automotive oil is just as good. Im sure there is advantages to using motorcycle transmission oil/gearbox oil. And I do use it in some of my machines. But I have used 10w30 in my trikes for almost 10years and I have NEVER had a problem. Plus at the rate that I change my oil (because I go through DEEP water) I have saved enough money to buy many other toys!!!

What bike do you have? To see how much oil you need check a manual or call your local dealer. My 85 250R has a screw on the side of the case I remove. I put oil in the fill hole until it comes out of that screw hole. It is about 650ml, I believe. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. I have done it like this forever and haven't fried a bottom end yet, but it doesn't mean I'm right.
