new to the hd world.... need fluid help
first off im sorry, i know theres a million different threads on here and ive looked through alot but cant seem to find a straight answer. i just recently bought a 2007 wide glide and want to change all 3 fluids. i feel pretty sure on mobile 1 20w50 syn for the engine. what should i do for other 2. i want something readily available at auto parts store if possible dont want to order anything off net if i can avoid it. also dont really want to run synthetic in the tranny unless i have to because of engine oil. once again i apologize but i am new to this and want to do it right and myself. thanks alot.

I go with amsoil in all three, you can become an amsoil preferred customer and save on the cost of the oil. They sell you oil filters as well, and will ship to most places overnight. That's right straight to your doorstep and you save coin without leaving the house. I've been doing it for three years.

I switched to redline for all three holes - they came out with a different product for each and I have had excellent results.

I think the best way to go about it is to see what is readily available to you in a nearby auto store or walmart.
I run M1 20w50 in my engine, M1 4T 10w40 in my primary, and shockproof heavy in my transmission. I suggest rethinking not wanting to use a synthetic oil in the transmission.. i think the benefits far outweigh the costs.
If i had a place I could buy Redline off the shelve and not have to pay shipping, then I'd be running that in all 3 holes. Shipping just drives the cost too high.
