Default RE: For those who use Amsoil

I used to, but the 20/50 in the primary seems to thin out enough to leak. Switched to the HD Formula+ and leaks stopped immediately, w/o even changing the gasket.
&nbsp\\;
When I got my DD6 tranny, Baker recommmends RedLine SPH so that left me with AMSoil MCV in the crankcase.
&nbsp\\;
On my last oil change, I wanted to try a 20/60&nbsp\\;in the crankcase for the hot TX summer and AMSoil does not offer one, so I am trying RedLine V-Twin Syn 20/60.

I use 20/50 Amsoil in my primary and never had an issue. If you have a leak, then you need to get it fixed. Should not be leaking no matter what you use. That is if you have a newer Harley. I hear the older ones leak no matter what.

Royal Purple helps to reduce some of that heat that everyone complains about.&nbsp\\; It works, I was a skeptic at first, now I am a believer!&nbsp\\; Later,

+1 for 25/50W in all three holes.&nbsp\\; Just switched and few hundred miles ago but and very happy so far.&nbsp\\; Allot less noise when shifting and the bike does seem to be running a bit cooler.&nbsp\\; $hit is expensive but worth it!&nbsp\\; Bryan
