Don't bag on Redline just because you run Amsoil.

FWIW, I use h-d oils. but, the tech at the dealer told me when i suggested trying redline severe that they got a service bulletin from harley about redline tranny fluid and severe issues with transmission failure. but i have no data to support this. just thought i would throw this in the mix.

After tearing my tranny apart yesterday due to a serious leak of Redline shockproof I thought I would spot here. I was advised by out shop mech not to use Redline anymore as they were scooping out chunks or it from my tranny. The needle bearings on my 5ht gear walked and caused the tranny to have a serious leak. The only advice I got so far besides buy a new tranny is do not use Redline shockproof in my tranny anymore.

bulletin
Guys, that tech bulletin sounds a little fishy. We've never seen such a document. We have literally thousands of happy customers on our V-Twin Transmission Gear Oil (Heavy Shockproof) over two decades--if there was a problem, I think it would have surfaced some time ago.
We do know that while it helps in the new Cruiseglides, there are shifting issues in those boxes that even Shockproofs can't fix.
H-D wants to push their own fluids and Amsoil/Royal Purple have sales guys out there that try to tear us down but we appreciate the support from those of you who've had success with our products. Thanks.
For those of you trying to find it in your local shop, our wholesale distribution has improved dramatically with the addition of Tucker Rocky/Bikers Choice. Your local shop likely buys some of their inventory from them, so don't be afraid to remind them that they can get it there. There are some mail order deals out there, too. At redlineoil.com, we don't offer any discounts but it ships same day if you order before 1pm PST.
We normally don't post but wanted to clear that up.
Enjoy your forum,
