Hey all.. The back wheel transmission oil in my 2004 rocket is really black.. On changing the oil and doing a 100 miles it is again very black?.. I have no noises or anything that I can notice unusual.. Any help would be much appreciated.. Mike

What exactly are you using? Just curious, I changed mine the beginning of the year, I just got it this year, an 08, and it was very black, going to change it first chance I get, so I'm interested in what people have to say.
I used Delvac Mobile Lube, full synthetic 75-90w it was pretty clear going in!! I think all the manual call's for is a hypiod synthetic oil

Many thanks for for your reply.. So from what your saying is its not something that's caused by a lot of damage?
