Interesting to say the least good job. Travel safe FredJohn Maxwell, my favorite HD Tech, has a video on the new gear oil HD has out, and a few tips on changing your oil. Just for you, Jack.
HMMMMMM, guess HD finally has seen the light
I agree, but I went to the HD website & at $19.99 a quart, they can keep it. I fully expected it to be priced with Syn.3.
My dealer sell Redline for that price. I have 2 quarts of Formula + to use, but I have been very happy with my Lucas. I like to experiment. I'm with John, having something in there is half the battle.
I knew you would be happy with an oil thread Jack.
OH NO .... another oil thread ... just for Jack
Fuzzy, he loves it when I start them & he constantly ask me to.
I wonder why the bottle of this gear lube says for primaries?
It's for both, just like Formula +.
Fuzzy , my Mercedes oil requirements in the owners manual is a page long with all this siencetific requirements. The dealer uses Mobil 1 in gasoline and diesel . As long as the recommended type (dino or syn) and the recommended vis is used, your golden.
Dont worry — Be Happy
I know that more & more dealers are carrying fluids, along with the HD products. I don't know how many people have stated that when the talked to their service tech about tranny/shifting problems, they are told to try Redline & 75% of the dealers I have been to are starting to carry it, or Lucas or others.
I like to play & I'm gonna try Formula +, but if the shifting changes at all from what I have had the last 4,000 miles, it's coming out and my Lucas is going back in. I am currently running Lucas 20w-50 High Performance Full Synthetic in all 3 holes & it tested great in my Blackstone analysis, coupled with a Mobil 1 extended performance oil filter. I also, have not burned a drop since installed.
In this modern era, I am starting to think if it's what's called for & at the proper level, and changed when it should be, all will be OK.
This is looking like an oil thread
Good job Michael:clapping:
Harley has always been tight lipped about their lube testing
They used to test beat bikes @ Talladega speedway and they also had heat sheds in Arizona when they were testing the VRod bikes
I can tell you ... when I put red line in ... there was significant improvement in shifting, noise level and the dent pin my wallet, compared to Syn 3 ... :AGGHH:
