Default Oil changes

Just wondering what oil is thebest to use? Stay with the Harley oil or use diffrent brand like Quaker state or other brand names. Stay with the the same weight suggested. Just stopped in to get a oil change at the dealership it was $80. sticker shock! I have done my own just got lazy that weekend plus just had the big bore kit done and wanted to get the oil changed. Any sugggestion? Thank you Skiffer

Go over to the oil forum and start reading...You'll get every opinion from everybody that can cite personal experience, or knows someone who does, or has read some sorta scientific research study....All concerning oil.

Change oil every 3,000 miles religously. HD 20w-50 oil, HD premium oil filter. At 65,000 miles on my 01 Ultra, I've had no internal engine problems and my bike maitains good oil PSI. Just my .02 cents worth...

I do most changes myself. Use HD products all the time. However, on one long trip last year. I did need to "top off" with some Delo.
