I noticed this thread which has become current again did not have a link to this very informative analysis that one of our members here, Glave, was kind enought to do and post results on.  Whether you use Amsoil, Red Line, Mobil 1, or even the standard H-D xmsn lube, do yourself a favor and get the Syn3 out of the transmission.

By the way, I noticed at the store the other day that Mobil 1 now offers a heavier 75w-140 gear oil in addition to the 75w-90 they've had around for quite some time.

Someone told me that they recommend using the same oil in all 3 locations to stay consistant w/ what the MoCo is currently recommending and thus stay competitive.  It doesn't make any sense to me either after what we've read in this thread about the gear oil especially. [smiley=shocked2.gif]

What exactly did Jim Van say?  I'm not sure I understand what his final/bottom line is in regards to your question.   [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

I've looked at several threads on oil and it looks like the majority of people use red line shock proof in the trans and the mobil1 in the engine.One guy even refered to the old commercial with the oil in the fryin pan ..lol  It seems to make sence to me that a gear lube would be better in the transmission.I want fluids that are easily available
if i find exessive sludge on the magnet when i change all the oils, i'm changing  brands
