Invader Chain Case Lubricant

[ltdman]

Just pulled the chain case cover to change oil on my Invader 4/6. The manual suggests ATF Dexron II fluid. What I drained out sure wasn't red like ATF should be  Will light oil do any harm over ATF fluid? I believe in using what the manufacture suggests. Give me your thoughts Kawy guys.

light oil shouldn't have hurt anything, at least there was something in there (other than water) ATF will flow in colder temps than oil and is easier to find than some exotic oil.

Any oil is better than no oil.

 ATF Is what I use mostly.

Cleaned up the chain case cover, wiped down the seal good and put it back together. Added the ATF to the correct level on the sight glass. Adding the fluid can be a real pain, watching the window with a 2"x 2" mirror held by a pair of needle nose pliers. For any of you guys changing the fluid, I measured it while putting it in. 5.0 fluid oz's.(give or take a tad) Thought maybe that would be helpful to keep with your service records. Can't wait to get the ol" Vader 4/6  back out in the snow . Thanks fellows for all the great advice.>>>>> Happy sledding!!
