Hi!!
I have a doubt about oil for my maverick x rs 1000r turbo 2016.

I my user manual I have:

• Gear oil: 75W140 API-GL5 Synthetic gear oil
• Front differential: 75W90 API-GL5 Synthetic gear oil
• Rear final drive: 75W140 API-GL5 Synthetic gear oil

And in the service manual:

• Gear oil: 75W140 API-GL5 Synthetic gear oil
• Front differential: 75W90 API-GL5 Synthetic gear oil
• Rear final drive: 75W90 API-GL5 Synthetic gear oil

Which one is correct ? I dont know why rear final drive is different.

Some oil recommendation ?
I view 75w140 valvoline fully synthetic and 75w90 valvoline fully synthetic

This is one of our favorite discussions on this site, there's lots of threads to search. I'm on the either is fine side of things, and use 75w140 in it all.

X2, makes it easier to just use / have one. There isn’t enough of a difference to be critical.

Either will work, if you run it HARD I would go with the 75-140

The top one is correct ,bottom is wrong

I run 75-140 in both.

A little research (for cars) but goes to 2020RR's point

75w90
The oil works best when the ambient temperature is low since it quickly loses viscosity as the mercury rises. A 75w90 grade gear oil is ideal for winter conditions and passenger vehicles primarily used in daily use or city traffic.

75w140
If your vehicle is used extensively for hauling heavy loads, in hotter climates, or on the racetrack, I recommend using a 75w140 grade gear oil. While the lubricant performs similarly to the 75w90 fluid in the lower temperature range, the higher kinematic viscosity helps it retain viscidity as the mercury soars.
