I use only Harley SYN3 in all 3 holes. Well I will at the 5,000 mile mark. Until then I'm using regular Harley oil, like 20/50 or whatever it it. It's too cold to go out to the garage to look and see here in Tennessee. But that being said I also run Rinehart slip-on's and a driver's backrest...

I learned on this forum that Yak fat for breakin, then switch to hemp seed oil, they say the skunk smelling exhaust is normal, they all do that.

Plus, Wesson oil has "Wessonality", according to Marcia Brady's mother, who pimped for the stuff about 40 years ago.

Oh no! Prepare to be really confused!

That's about it. I use Amsoil and I'm not sure why. Any quality oil will do the job.

Its a shame that Carol Brady met her demise while doing a commercial during the opening of an episode of Police Squad!

Like others have said, do a forum search and you will get many many opinions. That said, I'll say this" I can not figure out why any one would run motor oil in their transmission or primary??? I suppose any lube is better than no lube and to each their own....good luck
