New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
Bet you could stick 10W40 in both places and neither you or the bike would ever know the difference!!!
I am running that in my Stelvio. So far it seems fine - and based on what I read in the manual and on the label it meets or exceeds specs.
As always, the key thing is whether it meets the specs. Ideally, a gear oil that meets the specs for both straight-cut gears and hypoid gears will allow the use of the same product in both the gearbox and final drive so long as the weight range is also appropriate.Lucas could spend a bit less space congratulating themselves and a bit more speaking to specific applications (the tech sheet is a bit less tech than sheet), but it's decent stuff and a reasonable choice. I can't recall anyone blaming Lucas oil for a failure.Should anyone want the original specs from AGIP for the CARC lubes for a baseline reference, here are they are:http://people.delphiforums.com/ITSecurity/Norge/MP%20oil%20specs.pdfhttp://people.delphiforums.com/ITSecurity/Norge/MPS%20oil%20specs.pdf
Sorry guy's , I guess I don't know what your looking at but the spec sheet for the lucas product and the agip are almost identical. Exceeds GL5, mil specs the same , flash points, viscosity index etc . Looks like it fits the bill, where am I going wrong?? Paul B
I sorta wonder why this needs proving and re proving. If I wasn't sure what to use, I'd just find someone who hasn't managed to destroy one in 100,000 miles and just use what he does. Put the stuff in and ride.
If that's the criterion, then my 122,000 mile Norge (new in 2011) has used Mobil1 75w90 in both gearbox and final drive for most of its life, and ELF/Total 10w60 (and more recently, Liqui-Moly) in the crankcase. It's still doing nicely...
Well that's a slam dunk. I'd take your advice without hesitation if I was looking for guidance. I use Motul 7100 in the donk and Motul 80w90 in the gearbox and bevel drive. Never had anything else from new and gearbox is as smooth as my Suzuki Bandit or similar. My Norge has less k's than yours at 112,000 but clearly you're on the money.
