Just finished my service and thought I would put this out there and hear some comments (I asked for it)!


Engine: Mobile 1 20W50
Trans: Mobile 1 75/145
Primary Formula +


I read several members use Mobile 1 20W50 for eng and trans so I figured I could top off the trans with that since it called for a few more ounces than a quart.


Previously ran Syn3, amsoil gear oil (recommended by dealer) and Rotella 15/40 primary (had new gallon given to me)


Results of change: Engine sounds quieter, slight ticking seems to be gone. Although I could shift the trans most of the time smoothly, I really feel a difference in smoothness now. Primary seems quieter.


This wasn't mean to be another oil thread, but I thought if anyone is running Mobil 1 in the engine and trans, it might save them from buying another $20 qt for a few ounces of trans fluid. I got a case of Mobil 1 eng oil from a sale Pep boys were having so I have extra. I don't feel putting a few ounces of 20W50 in with the 75/145 would dilute the trans fluid much.

 

Nothing wrong with that combo, I run Mobil 1 15W/50 and Formula plus in Trans and primary and a pro flow oil filter 27K no issues.

 

Bike always seems to run better right after a good service. Car seems to run better too right after it's been detailed ��

 

Lets us know after you get 1k or so miles on this service if the benefits are still there. I run redline in all 3 and would like to save a little money but the redline has been great

 

Love the M1 in the engine

 

Bro, regarding the ticking, I can tell you I recently installed the Rockout inserts in my rocker base (its really an easy job if you take your time and follow instructions):

When a riding buddy of mine heard the difference, he ordered 2 sets and we installed them in his softail and his girlfriends too. On hearing theirs, another riding acquaintance has decided to put em in. "This is no exaggeration" !!

For 15 bucks and a couple of hours of your time you can cure (at least substantially) the ticking and select your oil based on qualities other than "silence".

I've no interest in the Rockout guy's business but these suckers really work !

 

Thanks man, always great to hear from a happy tap free Rockout user.
