I fun amsoil in my bike and harley filter. Seems to work well for me and thousands of others. Nothing wrong with sticking with harley oil though. Its really just a personal preference. As long as you change it as often as you should you should be just fine with any of them out there.
I have a 2007 super glide custom. This will be my first time changing the fluids and im just curious as to what I should be running in the engine/primary/trans. My buddy recommend AMSOIL 20W-50 for the engine. Any recommendations or guidance would be greatly apricated!!
This will give you the kind of info you want. You will discover that there are no "best" oils to use, but there are a lot of very good products out there.
The three drain plugs are the same size (Hex head). The primary and the transmission drain plugs face down (vertical). The engine drain plug faces towards the primary (horizontal).
Engine almost 3 quarts, drain plug torque 168 to 252 inch pounds (14 to 21 foot pounds). Run engine 1 to 2 minutes at idle on the kickstand before checking oil level. Screw cap all the in to check level.
Primary 1 quart, drain plug torque 36 to 60 inch pounds (3 to 5 foot pounds). Primary cover reuse and lube O-Ring mating surface torque 84 to 108 inch pounds (7 to 9 foot pounds). You can use foil like in the below photo as a funnel.
Transmission 1 quart. Drain plug torque 168 to 252 inch pounds (14 to 21 foot pounds). Dip stick 25 to 75 inch pounds (2 to 6 foot pounds)
No thread locking used, I use Teflon thread sealant on the drain plugs, transmission dip stick, and the primary cover screws.
