There is no separate transmission oil on the Ozark. The engine and the transmission and the clutches are all lubricated by the oil you put in the engine. That's why it is smart to use the upgraded motorcycle oil they sell at the dealer. Its supposed to work better in transmission than regular oil. There is some 90W oil in the rear differential that is located back on the rear axle that needs checked and changed - but not very often. Look at your manual.
