Re: Who Makes The Harley Oil & Chemicals

I now have about 300 miles on my harley and I did change the oil at 100 miles and put the harley oil back in it. My question is should I continue using harley oil until the 1,000 mile inspection or can I switch over to mobil 1 synthetic now? Thanks

You can switch to a good oil instead of the syn 3 at any time. The CVO bikes come from the factory with synthetic (syn 3) in them. Use the M1 and not the syn 3, much better oil.

Re: Who Makes The Harley Oil & Chemicals

Yes Hugo is one bad dude, had the audacity to take land from the establishment and give it to the poor, also had the (edit) to tell the US oil companies they had to pay taxes for the oil they were taking out of the country.

A dictator- well that's debatable he was elected by popular vote----illegal who knows, the people of the country seem to like him,although a mega deal for a pipeline and refinery with Brazil fell through worth 5B+

Valero is owned by Saudi Arabia and ?
