Which Mobil 1 Gear Lube????
I have a 2008 Sportster and want to chance my primary/gear oil to Mobil 1.
The question is which one? They have two, 75/90 and 75/140. When I shift my gears to me it sounds loud.Will the thicker of two be better?? Thanks for any help..... |

I just changed mine out last week to the 75/140 in My 09 Heritage Classic. It made a huge difference on how smooth it is and so far no clunking

I live in a reasonably hot climate and i went to Mobil 75w/140.Made quite a difference which was just as well because it was only sold in 20 litre drums!(Spectro wasn't available here then)

Re: Which Mobil 1 Gear Lube????
Since Sportsters share the same fluid in both the primary and tranny you may not want to be using a gear lube. Dunno... haven't owned a Sporty in decades. I'd advise checking with your dealer or someone definitely in the know before I ended up with gear lube in my primary.
