Maxima MTL-R Transmission Oil 80wt. — Race-grade wet-clutch protection & anti-wear

Maxima MTL-R 2-Cycle Transmission 80wt. is a race-grade wet-clutch transmission oil engineered to protect gears, reduce clutch slippage and extend component life in both 2‑stroke and 4‑stroke systems.

Built from an updated additive package and a shear-stable base, MTL-R 80wt. delivers targeted lubrication for transmissions and wet brake systems used in motocross, off-road and high-performance recreational machines. The formula has been validated by professional race teams and component specialists to balance frictional control for clutch engagement with robust anti-wear protection for gears and bearings.

How does MTL-R prevent clutch slippage while still lubricating the gearbox?

MTL-R uses a tailored friction modifier system that lets clutch plates engage consistently without glazing, while the oil’s shear-stable viscosity film protects gear teeth and bearings. The result is predictable clutch feel plus long-lasting mechanical protection under racing and heavy-duty conditions.

• ClutchSaver friction control for steady engagement and reduced slip
• Shear-stable 80wt. viscosity maintains film thickness under load
• Anti-wear additives reduce pitting and spalling on gear surfaces
• Compatible with OEM and aftermarket clutch plate materials

Will this oil work in both 2‑stroke and 4‑stroke transmissions?

Yes — MTL-R 80wt. is formulated for use in transmissions of air- and water-cooled 2‑cycle and 4‑cycle engines, offering a single product solution for mixed fleets or multi-bike riders. Its performance characteristics meet the demands of different geartrain designs while protecting wet-clutch systems.

• Designed for both 2‑stroke and 4‑stroke transmissions
• Tested on race teams’ bikes across engine types
• Suitable for machines with wet clutch and wet brake systems

What mechanical benefits should I expect compared to standard gear oils?

Compared with conventional gear lubricants, MTL-R emphasizes clutch compatibility and clutch life in addition to wear protection for gears. Riders and tuners report improved clutch consistency at race temperatures and reduced component wear when used as directed.

• Extended clutch plate and basket life through controlled friction
• Enhanced resistance to gear pitting, scuffing and surface fatigue
• Stable performance under thermal and mechanical stress

How do I use MTL-R in my bike or ATV?

Replace the transmission fluid according to your machine maker’s service interval and follow capacity recommendations. Always drain the old oil, inspect the filter or screen, and refill with the specified volume; if your vehicle has a shared engine/transmission oil circuit, verify compatibility before switching.

• Follow OEM service intervals and fill volumes
• Drain fully and inspect clutch plates during service
• Confirm compatibility for shared-sump engines before use

Who is this for: Maxima MTL-R 2-Cycle Transmission 80wt. is intended for racers, serious off-road riders, tuners and mechanics who need a transmission oil that prioritizes clutch engagement control and heavy-duty gear protection. It’s a practical choice for teams and individuals running wet-clutch systems in motocross, enduro, off‑road and utility machines, or anyone wanting a single high-performance fluid for mixed 2‑stroke/4‑stroke fleets.
