I'll tell ya' for $20 into my PayPal account!

Look, IMO it is nearly impossible to blow up a late model Harley motor due to an oil related failure, period.

First 50,000 miles, Syn 3 (semi synthetic,) because I worked at a Harley Dealer and got it at cost plus 10%.

50,000 to 120,000 miles Mobil 1 V-Twin full synthetic, but then I learned about:

Mobil 1 15W-50 automotive full synthetic, 120,000 to present and $25 for a 5 Quart jug.

And here's a kicker for ya'. I ran cheap *** Fram filters for the first 100,000, not knowing how poorly constructed they were. Once I learned I went to Wix, Mobil 1, etc. But it apparently didn't matter.

Tranny Mobil 1 75W-90 since the beginning.

Primary Wal-Mart 20W-50 dino oil (Tech brand $2.59 a quart.) But then I don't have the crappy compensators '07 to present (but I do run the same clutch.)

See, if I can't blow it up from my choice of oil and filters, you probably can't either. (And how many here are every going to see 100,000 miles on their ride anyway?)

ANYTHING's better that crap HD Synth so your options are only limited to the thousands of oil threads you can muster-up on an oil thread search.

For me, Spectro's pretty good stuff...even use it as a cologne to get oiled-up for some OL snuggle time...

Yep, or I otherwise wouldn't have bothered.

Lard is the best. Anything else is a government conspiracy to prop up corporations.
