M1 20/50. Feels fine and to me is easier than buying 3 types of oil everytime because I cant find them all at the same store

I use Amsoil mcv20-50 but was thinking of using super shift ATF some say it hooks up to fast so I'm not sure if I'd like that.

I tried ATF based on others experiences. Didn't like it at all, clutch seem to grab to quickly. I had problems ridding in the gray zone at slow speeds. Might just be me though. I like Rotella T and cheap too!

I have had Formula+, Drag Specialties and now Rev Tech. They all act the same. Spend more than 5 or 6 bucks for primary fluid you are wasting your money.

I use Royal Purple...got this of their website. Any thoughts?

"We recommend our Max Cycle oils for HD primary cases. If you would like the convenience of one fluid, Royal Purple Max Cycle 20W-50 can be used for engine, primary and transmission. If you would like to optimize your lubricant selection, Max Cycle 20W-50 for the engine, Max Cycle 10W-30 for the primary, and Max Gear 75W-90 for the transmission. Do NOT use Max Gear oils in the primary. They contain friction modifier for limited-slip differentials and could cause excess slippage of the wet clutch in the HD primary."

+1 for Redline - I used the V-Twin Powerpack for all fluids.

I run Type "F" ATF or B&M Trick Shift in the primaries of my shovel and my evo dresser. Never had a problem with either.

Default 3 holes to fill

Hey Everybody,

2014 Heritage Softail Classic V&H True Duals / SE Stage 1 / V&H Fuelpak FP3

After weeks of information saturation, my decision is:



(E) Amsoil 20W50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil
(T) Redline V-Twin Trans Oil w/Shockproof
(P) Redline V-Twin Primary Case Oil
