$140 for 60k service with ME doing all the wrenching! Oil is now $16.49 a quart! What other brands are you guys using?
-
Amsoil in the engine and primary, BelRay in the trans. They are right around that $15/quart, but IMO a much better product than the HD stuff.
-
Amsoil is $12.89/quart for preferred customers. Annual preferred customer membership is $20 and can join online at the Amsoil site.
-
I'm using Redline oil, primary fluid and Shockproof in the trans. About the same price as the HD stuff, but another better option.
-
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I think I’m gonna give Mobil 1 a shot next go around. My brother has been using it for years on his CVORG and Road King. Wouldn’t be surprised if Mobil 1 is actually who manufactures H-D oil.

I use Mobil 1 for the last 10 years !!! It works for me.

I put royal purple in the engine, royal purple gear oil in the trans and automatic trans fluid type f in the primary.

Tried Liqui Moly 10w60 on a friends advice. Could not belive how much less valve noise there was in my motor. Was about $12 a quart, specially developed by BMW for their race team. I'm a convert.

Redline 20W/60W kit. As others have said the motor is quieter with the extra 10W and I have experienced no blow by smell after spirted riding. You get fluid for engine, trans and prim, plus fuel treatment, hat, funnel & stickers shipped to your door. After a few changes you'll have so many hats, fuel treatment, funnels & stickers you can give them to your friends or trade for beer!

Another vote for Mobile 1. I've used it in my rigs for years. Primary I use Harleys Formula + Transmission and Primary Chaincase Lubricant (about $9.00 a quart) and Redline Heavy Shockproof for the tranny, which is not cheap but the best that I have found and if you buy it by the gallon it takes some of the sting out.
You can also find Mobile 1 at most automotive parts stores and even Wally World, which makes it way more available than Harley's oil

Been using Mobil 1 since 2005 in the engine with Redline in the Trans & Primary with K&N Chrome oil filters. I doubt very much that Mobil 1 cans HD oil as one poster above mentioned, personally I hate to see assumptions like this unless they are based on published facts.
Amsoil is to much like a Pryamid for me to believe in it but it may be a wonderful product, just my personal research has not been impressive. This of course means nothing to anyone but me.

I second the "Liqui Moly 10w60", have been using it since 2015, recent purchase $51.00 for 4L earlier this month.

Count me in as a Mobil 1 fan.
-
Mobil 1 here too. Its works, and the best part is I can get it most anywhere. Haven't looked at price lately though
Last I bought was from Pep Boys online when they had it on sale for $9 a quart and I ordered a couple cases
-
I also have been using the Liqui Moly 2024 Synthoil Race Tech GT1 10W-60 Motor Oil - 5 Liter have been using it since 2015 both bikes and buy it on line.
-
I always change out to Mobil 1 after the first service.
Engine, Mobile 1 V-Twin
Transmission, Specto Heavy Duty Platinum 6 Speed Transmission oil
Primary, Spectro Primary Chain case oil

Guess I should consider that price a bargain, dealership in St. Paul asking nearly $19 a quart. This is what happens when the Motor Company meddles in the free market…the consumer gets screwed. It’s listed in the 2022 parts book for $12 and some change but when the dealerships realized that Harley eliminated their market competition by forbidding others to ship outside their market, then it was time to stick it to their loyal customers!

Agreed 100%! Forcing everyone to buy from the aftermarket. Syn 3 sales will go down and Mobil 1 sales will go up...

I checked our cost on the Liqui Moly 20 / 60 GT1 $55.14 for 5L jug.
Might as well give it a try with next service.
