hi guys need some advice, some ppl say gl-5 lube for sportsters, some say gl-1
my manual says--- HDsport transfluid for "04-06"--- then they call for different "prolly the HD+ oil"
i have multipurpose gear lube "gl-5 e p", for all kinds of gears,and limited slips
limited slip rear ends will have 600 horse? on them a lil sporty only 85? max stock
im wondering about the gl-5 issues because of the stator metal and other metals ect..., my first harley so i am asking first, as i want it to last and shift well - and already have this lube ,and dont really want mobile/or synthetics


thanks for replies
 
I ran GL5 rated Mobile 1 - 75w90 in my sportster primary/tranny for years and never had a problem.

I also know of guys who run Mobile 1 - 20/50 motor oil in the primary/tranny with no problems.

Both are the same viscosity.

Key for me is regular service (fluid changes).
