My question is the result of the posts on Mobil 1 75/90 gear oil. In my research I came upon the Mobil 1 web site Application for Mobil 1. This is a copy of it.

Applications

Mobil 1 Synthetic gear Lubricant LS 75W-90 is intended for initial fill, topping-off or refilling differentials, final drives, transfer cases and other gear applications where lubricants meeting API Service GL-5 and multi-purpose or mild EP gear lubricants are recommended

Mobil 1 Synthetic Gear Lubricant LS 75W-90 can also be used in rear axles where API Service GL-4 lubricant is recommended

Not recommended for automatic, manual or semiautomatic transmissions for which engine oil or automatic transmission fluids are recommended
Where extended service intervals and warranties are required

???????????? I am confused with this Recommendation????????????

I have been reading about the GL ratings and looking at the 75w140 is a GL1 and the 6 speed lube is a GL5.

What the heck is the difference? I hope I did not put anything in the bike that will do damage to the trans!! What is the difference because reading what is on the spectro site the 75w140 formulated specifically for Harley big twin Trans.

I have a 07 Road King with a 6 speed, The Bike does shift better and alot less noise from the trans since doing the change. I did look for the 6 speed stuff but was unable to find it here in Virginia Beach.

Just want to make sure I made the right choice or do I need to get the stuff out and put something else in there.

I believe its pretty much just pure stock. Anyway, I read a post by glider to check the oil HOT - well mine has so much foam in the tank that it hardly sticks to the dipstick. I have a couple of questions; 1) is the dino oil supposed to be that foamy? 2) how do I check the oil levels - COLD maybe?

I have one of those neat little oil temp gauge dipsticks - HOT engine only shows about 180-200 degrees on that temp gage - after riding for about 40 miles or so.

I have been searching for almost a month now and from what I can find....the BEST oil is " What you are confortable with"!!!!

In my 6 Yammies I had since 1980 to 2008 I always used Castrol 20w50 Motorcycle oil...and never had any problems.

But now with the Harley.... I am going to try AMSOIL..20w50 in the Engine.....10w40 in the Primary....75w90 or 110 Gear lube in the Tranny.....sure hope those guys at AMSOIL know what they are talking about.

They tell a good story....so I will see this spring....when I change my oil.

I live way up north ...in Northern Canada.....where we get winter 5 months of the year....cuts down on the ammount of miles you put on your bike....or you can ride and freeze your face off.

I am wondering if I use synthetic oils.... if it will be better in cooler weather...we get some hot days...but the majority of our weather is cool...and when you get into the mountians...it stays cool.

Also storing the bike in a unheated shop...where it can drop to -40... (I do the winter storage thing )...but I wonder if synthetic oil would be better????

Its the kind you use with a ratchet, and it has a notch out to accommodate some fittings nearby.

Today I was changing my oil in preparation for winter storage. I have a 2010 FLSTC.

The filter is just too close to the engine block. The wrench *would* fit, but there's a small ridge around it and it will not seat squarely on the filter and it just slips off when I try to turn it.

There must be a better wrench - any suggestions?

Also, the oil (AMSoil) that I drained out and the filter only have about 800 miles on them. Is it ok to just put 2.5-3qts of oil in it and drive it in the spring with the existing filter? ]]> Oil Keithhu http://www.hdtalking.com/oil/22189-what_filter_wrench.html http://www.hdtalking.com/oil/22159-oil_consumption.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:45:09 GMT When asking around, I get varying opinions on oil consumption, some say their bikes use none others say they do - Had 2 new Softails, both used some,...

Just got back from running errands. Thought I'd check the oil while the engine was hot. The oil level was just above the 'Full' line not the 'Full Hot' line. Should I put more in? how much? (probably about .5" until full hot line).

I gave them 4 quarts and they gave me 1/2 quart back, so I'm sure they put 3.5 quarts in when they changed it, so in thinking about it, I worry that its burning it. Unfortunately I didnt check it when I first got it back after the 1K.

Thoughts? ]]> Oil Keithhu http://www.hdtalking.com/oil/22107-oil_level_barely_above_full_line_not_full_hot_line.html http://www.hdtalking.com/oil/22104-synthetic_causes_oil_consumption.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:02:15 GMT Just turned 5K miles and am considering changing from HD360 to M1. On my 08' Softail I changed to Amsoil Syn at 1K miles and started using 8oz of oil every 500 miles. I also put on a power commander and straight pipes. I don't know if the oil burn was cause or effect. My 09' burns 2 oz of oil in 2500 miles which I am very happy with.

I’m getting ready to service my 05 FLHRCI and the wife’s 09 FXDL.
The Dyna calls for oil filter #63798-99A which is 5 micron (chrome). No problem there.
In the service manual for the RK it calls for oil filter part # 63798-99 which it says is a 10 micron filter.
Parts guy at HD says no, they both run the same fitler. I know the “A” behind a part # means they have made some small design change to the original part so is it safe to assume all the twin cams now run 5 micro filters.
Just want to be sure.
