Got an order coming from My Oil Shop , and will do the first changeover when it arrives, used Mobil 1 previously in my '02 Glide, but gonna give Redline a try in the '07 , we'll see ?

 

Your dealer is wrong. It is against the law for a manufacturer to void the warranty for oils. Also if you read your owners manual you will see HD suggests using diesel rated engine oil in the bike.

 

Kind of a poor plan to scare first itme buyers into buying and using only H/D oils & lubes , I guess ? LOL !!

 

Redline is good oil. It is one of the few Group V synthetics readily available on the market which, as I've read, should give it an edge when it comes to dealing with high heat.

I put Redline 20W-50 in the engine & it seems to run a bit quieter. The tranny is definitely quieter with Shockproof than with any other brand, and the clutch feels about the same with MTL as with others...

 

I have Redline with 20w50 in the motor, Redline Shockproof in the tranny. I still prefer the HD Formula+ in the primary as the clutch plates IMO are a source of problem so I go with what I use. I was Mobil 1in the motor and tranny prior, but feel Redline, Mobil and Amzoil are three very good products.

P.S. I use HD oil filters, but the Mobil 1 and K&N are probably equals

 

Do a search on the Moss-Magnuson Warranty Act.

They cannot simply void your warranty...Federal law protects your right to use whatever fluids you wish from any source as long as they meet the appropriate standards.

I can't believe some liars and thieves are still trying to get away with this sort of crap.

 

Red line in tranny but am going to try royal purple in engine. I am just a victim of advertising

 

I posted this before, but I ran 2500 miles with about an ounce of Redline Shock in the tranny. Should have been 24 ounces. Long story short the tranny is fine and I just got back from 2200 Sturgis trip where our hiway speeds varied from 70 to 100 through Nebraska. I am sold, period. Even throw-out bearing is quiet!

 

Raporte, sorry but I've got to know. How did you manage to end up with 1 ounce in the tranny and ride 2500 miles before realizing it?

 

I also use and preach Redline Synthetic products in all three holes.

Engine has 20W50
Primary has Redline MTL
Transmission has Redline H/D Shockproof.

Since changing to this product 3 months ago, I have yet to hear the transmission make any noise at all and would tell you it shifts much smoother, and also runs a lot cooler. If you haven't made the switch yet...then get on her man!
