What kind of oil do i put in 2007 yamaha dt125x gearbox

SOURCE: what kind of oil should i use for my 1985 yamaha maix xj 700??

Absent evidence to the contrary and based on the age of your machine, you should probably use 'normal' oil. I don't think you will gain any benefit from the use of the expensive synthetic. Your bike is air cooled? Air cooled engines are tougher on oil than are water cooled engines. Find out the recommended weight and service rating from Yamaha. Use that weight and service class at a minimum and a higher service rating if available. Go to to a good auto parts place, not the "fast food" version, and ask the counter guy and/or find a comphy seat in the oil asle and start reading the cans.

Let me know how you make out with this.

Full synthetic oil will work the best for your bike. Synthetic has been over-engineered in a good way.

P.S: DO NOT USE car synthetic oil as they have TOO MUCH friction modifiers (not good for wet clutch).

SOURCE: What kind of oil is safe to use in my 2003 Yamaha

You can use many brands of oil : Honda oil, Yamalube, Suzuki oil, Kawasaki oil, Rotella T non synthetic oil ($12 a gallon), Mobil 1 motorcycle, Kendall, Castrol, Amsoil, Maxima, Bel-Ray, Motul, Pennzoil motorcycle, Royal Purple,Specro,Torco, Valvoline motorcycle, etc. Most oil brands sell a motorcycle oil, it just is not common to find it at many auto stores. Just make sure the oil you pick has the JASO MA Rating for Japanese motorcycle engines and is not an energy conserving car oil. The only reason Shell Rotella is mentioned (synthetic and regular) is because it is less expensive than all the other choices.

SOURCE: i need to know what

For the final drive oil you can use any 80/90 Hypoid gear oil. If you choose a synthetic Hypoid gear oil your rear end will run cooler. One quart of oil is enough for 4 or 5 rear end oil changes. Because the rear ends are so expensive (around $1000), I change my rear end oil every other engine oil change.
