I've read several threads here and other places.

First off this is a 70cc not a 570.
Located in central NY.

Any good reason not to run M1 0w40 this time of year?
Year round?

Any reason not to run this gear oil?
I read the threads on synthetic vs mineral but have it laying around.

Thanks in advance.

what are the thoughts on this oil in the gearbox?

Manual says use chaincase oil.
Sales guy didn't think it matters.
YES this is overkill.
YES it is expensive.
I have it on hand.

2020 DS70
Says change at 100 hours. I'm at 5 and changing oil anyway.
 
OP: You're good. The oil is just fine. Your gear oil choice is probably the best you will ever find. Amsoil severe gear is amazing stuff. Stinks but works really well.
 
Thank you.

0W40 Castrol Edge seems to be doing well.

Any need to hit 50 weight for summer?

He hammers this thing
 
Finally drained. And I can tell you they didn’t have six Oz in that gearbox from factory.
