Now dats phuny rat dare... :huepfenlol2:

HD dinosaur oil in every other Harley I've had and Syn 3 in the most recent three.  I've got two gallons that I won't be using anymore that's gonna be donated to a buddy... :2vrolijk_21:

I know you don't have to use the stock or factory suggested oil but it's handy and the MoCo branded oil does well, at least it has for me.  Going forward, I'm hoping the Indian branded oil is as good or better.
My friend that has an Indian Paid roughly $100. for thier oil and filter package. :nervous: :nervous:

That's a bit high.  It's actually priced at $78.99 MSRP with 5 1/2 quarts of oil, two crush washers and a filter.  I've got a $10 off coupon for the kit along with 15% discount at the dealer so it should come in just over $60.  I let them do the first one at 500 miles (actually watched them go through the entire list from Indian...took about 1.5 hours) and it was less than my last HD 1,000 mile first service from the dealer....I'll do all the rest myself.

The IM oil change kit is $80 for a filter, 5 1/2 qts. of oil and two crush washers.  Not bad if you consider Mobil 1 is $10 a quart ($10x6 = $60), so that leaves you paying $20 for a filter and two crush washers.   

However, you can use Shell Rotella synthetic T6 15w40 at $20 a gallon, buy a filter at an auto parts store, and a couple of crush washers, and complete an oil change for well under $60.

I just remember him telling me that a couple of years ago. Good to its less and coupons are available as well as other options now.  :drink: And isn't it just one spot for oil instead of three on HD?

Amsoil 20W-50 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil
Amsoil Synthetic V-Twin Primary Fluid
Redline V-TWIN TRANSMISSION OIL WITH SHOCKPROOF
The only reason I run Redline in transmission is it is easy to see on the dipstick. Got tired of dying the Amsoil Synthetic V-Twin Transmission Fluid
