Re: Oil Suggestions For Harleys
I'm about to do my first oil change. Going with Mobile1 V-twin and HD Formula+ but having no luck finding Spectro Platinum. I've talked to the distributors and nobody carries it here. I don't mind ordering it if it's that much better. Anything else that you would recommend for a 5 speed that is more available?

Re: Oil Suggestions For Harleys
You can go the redline shock proof heavy also. Another good choice. It's usually available in speed shops.
Even Mobil1 75/90 or 75/140 will be a decent choice over the syn 3 the dealers use. |

Re: Oil Suggestions For Harleys
I read it yesterday and will look for it tomorrow again and post the link. Although I plan on changing my trans fluid every 5k, I was kind of surprised when I read it.

Re: Oil Suggestions For Harleys
Ok I am a newbie to HD's. I have a 2009 Dyna Low Rider and the 1000 mile service will be coming up real soon. I have been reading this forum for hours and have come to this conclusion. Mobil 1 V Twin 20/50 in the engine - Spectro Heavy Duty Primary Chaincase Oil in the Primary - Spectro Heavy Duty Platinum 6 speed Transmission Lubricant in the Transmission. I should change all three of these every 2500 miles. Is this a good choice?
