Best fluids
« on: July 31, 2021, 05:50:52 PM »

Looking to change all oils; engine, primary and trans.  2016 FLTRUSE 25500 miles, stage 4 plus 117 upgrade.  Running Fulsac pipes and headers.  Have had recommendations for Syn3 in engine and primary and spectro in trans.  What does anyone recommend?  Having some heat issues recently.

My combination that I am very happy with.
Engine = Liqui Moly Synthetic Race Tech GT1 10W-60
Transmission = Red Line V-Twin Transmission Oil with Shock Proof
Primary = Harley Formula+

My rig is a TC117 Stage 4.

I have used numerous different oils in the Primary and have proven to myself that the coolest and quietest running primary is with the Formula+.
I have tried 3 or 4 different oils in the transmission and the smoothest shifting seems to be with the Red Line.
I have always run 60 wgt oil in my engines and the Liqui Moly gives me a nice quiet engine with no issues and for the price on Amazon you can't beat it.

***These are only my findings and opinions and while I do agree that the search engine is your friend, things do change and new opinions arise.

I use any fluid so long as a naked virgin has dipped her toe in it.  That "Muse-Effect" makes it all good.  It's even in the API standards as METD-NV.

Depends.  Big toe is transmission oil (unless Sportster or anything single cylinder or common reservoir).  Pinky toe is primary.  Big toe both feet for engine oil.

Thanks for the info and for not mentioning dino oil vs synthetic oil because that was settled a long long time ago & there is not any more controversy on that subject anywhere.  ;)

The fluid between the naked left & right big toes is for something else.   :o

   or Camel?

I have no idea what ulterior reference you might be suggesting Dan.  We know camel would not be a choice because their fur in the oil would not be good for driveline internals.  Even bringing it up would probably start some useless thread about oil filters and the micron size of the hairs from camel toes ??? .
