Now I have always just used 4t engine oil in 2t gearboxes .... but I have never had a high powered stroker ... I wanna put the correct stuff in the gearbox of my crosser ....

Does anyone know what the difference is between this

and

This
https://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_263839_langId_-1_categoryId_165507

What does the 'offroad' oil have in it?

Finally, does anyone use a dedicated a specific 2t gearbox oil in their 2t crosser or just use 4t oil? Question

I just use 4-stroke motorcycle oil in my KDX220 gearbox.

As long as it is a motorcycle oil designed for wet clutches (car oils have extra slip modifiers that can cause clutch slip in bikes) I don't think it makes much difference. Probably more important is changing it regularly.

That has always what I have done to date ... but a crosser gets a real hard time ... why do Castrol make an offroad 4-stroke oil? ... and will it be of any benefit to the GEARBOX of a 2t? or will the normal bike one actually be better gearbox wise?
