Iv got a 2013 honda rubicon 500

Iv been told belray is best to use in front and rear diff! I dont understand it says for wet clutch use only
Is mine wet clutch?

Also it recommands 80 but buddy said use 75w 90 ,

Sorry im not very good with mechanics, should i use belray? Or just use honda oem recommanded or something different

Thanks everyone

The simplest thing for you is go to the local dealer and get the right hypoid oil.

Someone may have recommended bel-ray for the wet clutch, which is fine as long as it says JASO-MA for the specs it meets, but that is for the MOTOR oil

For the front and rear DIFFERENTIALS, you need to use gear oil. But just make sure it says it is Hypoid gear oil, or needs to say it meets API GL-4 or GL-5 on the bottle. It can be a 80w90, 75w90, or even a 75w140 that I know some guys here use. Again, brand doesn't matter, can be bel-ray, amsoil, walmart supertech, etc. As long as it Hypoid, GL-4, or GL-5.

Keep in mind when you drain the differentials and reinstall the 10mm bolts be careful not to over tighten them because they will snap off

I’m glad you’re asking this question about a relatively new machine.

I use BelRay in the diffs and GN4 in the engine; because Honda and BelRay sponsor motorcycle racing—gives me confidence in their products. My friend uses Amsoil for same reason. As you go, you’ll pick up tips on other products.

As a rule, always use the manufacturer specifications and recommendations listed in the service manual—especially service intervals. If you don’t have a printed service manual you should get one.
