morning guys, i'm going to use the bel ray oil for the next service, i'm just a little confused, should i use the EXL or yhe VTWIN, cause both are listed for 4stroke air cooled harley use
thanks for the help

 

I would check with the manufacturer to see what the difference is but you have a V-Twin I think I would go with that. And does it meet or exceed H.D. spec's ?

 

looks like they are the same to me

 

Should be API SJ, different additive mix for hot running V Twins.

The only 20W-50 V-Twin they make is semi-synthetic (similar to HD Syn 3):

The only V-Twin fully synthetic they make is a 10W-50

I don't know if it's acceptable to use a 10W-50.

Here's Mobil 1's info specifying SJ for V-Twins:

I'd use Mobil one 20W-50 V-Twin if I could get it in Canada but can't. Used it in my track car,
66 open track days, 6 grand shifts, 0 issues. I also watched them pour another Mobil 1 aviation
oil into the jet engines I flew for years. Blackstone on my car reports were clean with lots of additive
package left. I swear by the stuff. Towing down to Gatlinburg in June for a week in the Smokies.
Be bring back lots of it.

 

so since all v twins are air cooled? u must use v twin oil? i use any good motor oil in the motor. save the v twin stuff for wet clutch, even then if the oil is wet clutch safe then its also good for the primary.

 

actually is not the only one here is what i'm talking about

http://www.belray.com/bel-ray-exl-mineral-4t-engine-oil

both are API SM

 

both those oils are mineral i would be looking at semi or full synthetics.

 

As i said i'm remaining mineral , just don't know wich on of the two above

 

noone knows?
