[jackassdave]

meant to put ,what oil in the HARLEY ,

 

[daveg]

Oil for Harleys

Up until the last oil change, when I put Castrol Actevo 20/50 in my Road King, I've used HD oils in my Harleys for the last 22 years. Always found it to be competitively priced and why use anything else

Only reason I put Castrol in this time is because I had some 'in stock'.

 

[jackassdave]

and harley oil for the gear box ,as well as the engine?

Yep, HD branded oils for the gearbox and primary as well. They make it difficult to divine what the exact equivalents are in other makes but if there isn't likely to be much in it price wise anyway WTF

The way I look at it you can't go wrong if you use their recommended oils. But there is a load of bollox talked about oils as we know

 

[Mutley]

My independent and very trusted mechanic only ever uses HD and he will try and avoid MoCo products if he can


One of my associates in the HDRCGB has just grenaded her Shovel because of cheap oil
