There shouldn't be any problems if you fill with the required amount of oil stated in the owners manual or factory manual regardless of the older practices.

Had a little time on my hands this morning so I rode over to dealer ship.
The shop manager Jason is straight up and knows HD no madder what some may say about so called steelers. I ask him to explain the Primary level and amount to add in the TC96 touring bikes.
"The bottom of the basket is the lowest level it should ever be, as long as the bike is straight up and level there is no reason you can not use that as your guide. 38 oz is the correct amount to add." Either way get your service done and ride.

Smitty,
thank you for taking the time to do this. 38 oz is the answer.

I changed my primary oil yesterday to get the syn3 out, After reading this thread I decided to see how much oil was in mine. I drained it and measured what was in there found 38oz. dealer put that in at the 1000 mile service. so I put 38oz back in.

I know some may find this strange but any time I change oil or lube I measure what comes out.
Wife still wonders were that big nice fancy glass measurung cup she had went.

34 ounces in mine drained out and 34 ounces put back in.
Put in Klotz "Synthetic Primary Chain Case Lubricant".
It says that it is a GL 5 and SAE 80W/90.
It says that it is "custom formulated for the Harley Davidson engine", and that it meets or exceeds all warranty requirements. It goes on to say that it "penetrates deep into chain rollers to loosen stiff links and extend chain and sprocket life. Hmmmm, interesting...
