another DUMB question...what weight synthetic oil weight to use?
I know...a dumb question.....I also did a search really did not find an answer...
I have an 06 Ultra and I am going to change the oil on the bike. I bought it used and it has synthetic oil in its "holes"
I am going to change the oil for the first time.....What weight should be used?
I see 15 30 20 50......so I am not sure....
If read the manual....and I am still unsure...
I live on the East Coast.....NYC area......
Thanks again and sorry for the dumba$$ question

+1....it's cheap at Walmart and approved for engine use in a Harley by Mobil 1. By putting this on their web page, they pretty much have to stand behind it in your bike.

Question:
Using Mobil 1 15W-50 in Harley-Davidsons
Several independent tests have shown that Mobil 15W-50 is virtually similar
to Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 oil. Since Harleys utilize separate oil supplies
for the primary and tranny, is there any valid reason not to use the 15W-50
in a Harley?
-- Dave Gartner, Goodyear, AZ
Answer:
As long as the primary and tranny are separate sumps and there is no concern
for clutch performance, then Mobil 1 15W-50 can be used in a Harley.
