I'm sure you can. I use auto tranny oil. 10-30 or 10-40 is all fine

I would think that It'd work just fine in any model.
Shear strength is the issue here. Some think under extreme MX/jumping that a high shear strength oil makes a difference. I certainly won't argue that point, It's just that I've not had any problem with gears breaking because of the oil used.
