Sliping Clutch what oil do you use
Has anyone out there had trouble using Amsoil 20-50 in their primary , my clutch feels like it could be sliping just a bit when I start out
Is there a better choice in fluids for the primary , I know that when I put Amsoil Severe Gear in the tranny the 5th gear noise was completely gone and still is nice and quiet after 4000 miles.
thanks all

Tried the Amsoil 20-50 in my primary and it made my clutch grab, not slip. Definately look into your adjustment. Stopped using Amsoil altogether and went back to Formula+ in the primary and tranny and all is well.

Just wondering, I use M1 in engine and tranny, usually Formula+ in primary.

RE: Sliping Clutch what oil do you use
Well, I've tried a lot of different oils and Formula+ seemed to work best in the tranny and primary. Interesting that you should mention M1 because I just bought some 20-50 v-twin for my next engine oil change to see how it goes. I'm currently running all dino oils, but here in South Texas it gets so hot in summer that although my engine seems to be quieter with dino oil, its supposed lack of heat resistance makes me nervous.
Some folks recommend a good 10-40 in the primary, and that's something I have never tried. I guess they mean any dino 10-40 oil like Quaker State, Castrol, Valvoline, etc. The only synthetic that has worked OK in my primary was Syn3, but Formula+ is cheaper and seems to work great. Syn3 definately made the tranny very noisy, so that little experiment got dumped quickly.
