Here's why:
* Viscosity: Yamaha Gear Oil is formulated with the correct viscosity for optimal performance and protection in ATV transmissions under various temperatures and conditions.
* Additives: It contains additives that reduce wear, friction, and corrosion, ensuring smooth gear shifting and long-lasting transmission life.
* Compatibility: It is specifically designed for Yamaha ATVs, ensuring compatibility with the materials used in your Banshee's transmission.
Here are some specific recommendations:
* Yamaha Yamalube 80W-90 Gear Oil: This is a good general-purpose gear oil for most applications.
* Yamaha Yamalube 75W-90 Gear Oil: This oil is designed for extreme conditions and high temperatures, offering enhanced protection.
Important Notes:
* Always refer to your Yamaha Banshee's owner's manual for the specific recommendations for your model year.
* Do not use motor oil in your gearbox. Motor oil is not designed for the high loads and pressures experienced in ATV transmissions.
By using Yamaha Gear Oil, you ensure proper lubrication and protection for your Banshee's transmission, allowing it to perform at its best.
