I use the amsoil. very happy w/it. I ordered it from amsoil. like Saturday said, a few days later it was here. I bought enough to service the bike several times. I try to service all ports every 3ooo miles.

I just use the Harley oils, buy them straight from my Dealer, to easy and they do the job they are supposed to.

Any advice for / against using a trans oil in the primary?

ie Redline MTL or RockOil light

You're better off with just a 10/30 or 10/40 in there without friction modifiers, nothing too thick, even the HD formula + will do the job in the primary. I just don't like it in the trans myself.

I'am in ontario canada and it seems amsoil is good. I looked at the mobil 1 v twin and it seems to be the only oil with moly. How important is this.

Amsoil,, figure it don't get changed as often as the engine, so pick it up and store it till the day comes. Which is about time,,

Moly is an anti wear additive and I feel it is a good addition to any oil. Just don't use it in the primary.
