Diamond Drive oil

Has anyone used something other than AC oil in their DD and had good results?

BigAir · Feb 22, 2011

I use John Deere low-viscosity Hy-Gard trans/hydraulic oil. I don't have a lot of miles on it yet, but so far so good. Running it in two DDs without problems.

Here is some info on it:

Hy-Gard

Check with eric at the racinstation he was using a redline synthetic gear oil but not sure which one

BigAir · Feb 22, 2011

So dunatyk, you mind telling me why you gave my above post a thumbs down?

I am making the switch to amsoil 2000 chaincase oil.

backcountryislife · Feb 22, 2011

Amzoil chaincase, or syncroshift.

Neither one really saves you much, but they're easier to come across.

10W Hydralic non foaming oil works just as good as the arctic cat stuff 1000 miles no problems and it costs a hell of a lot less too

hey thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Redline Superlite Shockproof gear oil. Thats what Racin Station will tell you. I followed his advice recently. 4 rides - so far so good.

Amsoil 2000 chaincase oil in two DD's since 2006 with no issues at all. Changing oil only once annually and they still look good!

oil

like sledjake said napa hyrdrolic oil less than 10 bucks a gallon. If cat diesels run it its good by me..

AKDMAX1 · Feb 23, 2011

Ive been running sythetic atf in mine and a few other sleds with really good luck, it has lots of detergent in it so it really helps keep it clean in their

428PONY · Feb 23, 2011

Same here have been running synthetic atf on every diamond drive i Have owned. No problems.

ridgerunner69 · Feb 23, 2011

Why not run the black diamond DD oil its cheeper than the cat oil and it has more than enough in a jug to do a oil change and spill a bit. I have 10000 miles on it no problem. It used to even come with a o-ring for the fill plug Im not sure why it dosen't any more.

So if its Sunday and I can't get any Cat oil, you guys think my DD will hold up for one ride using regular old 75W90 synthetic gear oil? It's all we had available

A lot of guys are using 75w90 and love it too. I wouldn't be concerned for a ride or two even if you switch to something else.
