I've had 4 or 5 different oils in the tranny.
What ever when new, If it was Formula+ then I've had 4 diff oil.

TRANNY
At 1k I went all Syn3,, didn't like it.
at 5k and 10k I used Formula +
At 15K put in BelRay 85-140 Hypoid.. Way to Thick. Hard to shift for the 1st 10 minutes.
at 16k I change to Mobil 1 GL 75-90. It is the best of what I've had so far.


Also At 16k I started using Mobil 1 V-twin 20-50 in the Motor and Pri.


According to our own OIL survey, the top three are Amsoil, Redline, and Mobil V-Twin..

So now at 41+K I am totally happy with it.
All around better than anything I've used in the past and easy to get.

Out of curiousity, why didn't you like Syn3?

I'm really considering changing to a different brand but if I'm honest I have no complaints with Syn3's performance. Only the price.

My tranny shifts so ****ing smooth and neautral is impossible NOT to find. I've driven other harleys with the hard to find neautral and hard shifting but my bike has had Syn3 in all three holes and at 22k I can't find any faults.

I'm tempted to try Redline but at $14 and change it's more expensive than Syn3 ($12)

I guess I'm wondering why some of you dislike Syn3.

 

can anyone help with some suggestions. looking to switch, not sure which way to go.

would be very grateful for some advise on this one.

 

I'll try it. Last primary change I put auto tranny fluid in just out of curiosity. Can't tell one lick of difference from regular Mobil 1 or Amsoil.

 

I get my Redline for the tranny at the Local HD dealer with
