I have a 2011 heritage classic and need a 1000 mile check up. I wanted to know if it's OK to use Bel-Ray Gear Saver HYPOID Gear oil 85w/140 for the Traney or should I use V Twin 85w/140 is there a difference ????
Our tranny uses both spur and helical cut gears, not hypoid (a special type of helical gear) cut gear. A hypoid gear has a sliding effect when used (almost like a worm gear) and therefore requires special lube.
