Anyone use 20-60 oil for riding in high temps? Is this a good idea? Who makes 20-60 Vtwin oil? Thanks.

 

The best of the breed is made by Red Line. Full synthetic and a great oil.

Checking on Redline's website, the following is posted:

20W60 - Specifically blended for air-cooled V-Twin engines with traditionally wide clearances like Knuckleheads, Shovelheads, and Panheads engines.

20W50 - Designed for the latest Big-Twin motorcycle engines that specify 20W50 motor oil, including including Evolution, Twin Cam, and aftermarket engines of similar design

harley even sells a 60 weight for extreme temperatures. redline 20w60 should work fine-and may quiet down the motor a little. i will be giving it a try down here next summer i nsouth texas.

 

 

I have used redline 20 60 to quiet things down a bit.

 

Used Redline for my Sturgis ride and was very happy with the results of the 20/60. Put 3800 miles out and back and held pressure at idle and highway speeds, when hot.

 

I use redline 20w60 every summer in my '00 Fatboy. Works great for me.
