Well as much as I like Spectro I would say M1 Vtwin is looking like a good call for you.
Another Plus for SNy oil is look at the heat ranges of SNy compared to dino oil SNy can take a lot more

Just checked the autozone web site and it shows to $9.50 but called the local store to double check and its on sale for $6.99, guess i will stop there tomarrow.

Double - Double check the oil label before you take it home.

I'm gonna stop at my local Autozone and see if they have it on sale tomorrow for the same price. Might be time to stock up!!

can i use red line 20w-60 in my shovelhead?

I use amsoil 20-50 in the engine. I use Spectro six speed in the tranny & primary. No issues so far. Won't use Syn3 anywhere. It is supplied to HD from HUGO CHAVEZ in Venzula. I don't cater to a Dictator.... He also owns CITGO gasoline. Won't buy that either.

Man, I think that is a great question. I go with the syn due to the reasons already mentioned but I do wonder how torn down engines compare if you did oil changes within the recommended periods. I'm would think an unbiased study or studies on this have probably been done. I have seen supposedly unbaised data about the temp improvements on motorcycles using syn vs dino but nothing on tear down comparisons. I used syn3 unitl reading posts at HDTalking. Smitty, Glider, and others convinced me to use other lubricants in my bike.

I use this in the Transmission

I use this in the Primary:

And this in the Engine:

I guess that is about as good as it gets?

You have some quialty oil and lube there for the engine and Transmission forsure never heard of the Max stuff but if it works for you great

I use the same spectro lubes and oil and redline in primaru.

Hey TOP (Smitty901),

The maxima has a website. So far it has been really good stuff. I have not had any problems using it. It is like 11 bucks a bottle.
