RE: What Primary Oil is your Choice
TC,
Now that Harley is not longer selling their primary fluid what you going with? You going to use their new stuff or switch over to a regular motor oil. Did my other two fluids ( Mobil 1 15-50) Crank and (Mobil 75-90) Tranny. Still up in the air on the primary.
Could not find any HD primary fluid at dealer. Local stores also did not have any of the listed items used by members here. Would standard Mobil 10w- 40 be a good choice?
Or should I stick with a syn like Mobil 1 15-50.
Thanks for all you add to the forum.

Roaddog ....I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.
If the primary oil is not available from HD any longer, I would prefer a non synthetic motor oil in the 10/40 range myself of any of the popular brands in the primary. You don't want an oil with a friction modifier in it.
