Default 2004 Softail Classic - Oil Type
I recently purchased a 2004 Softail Classic with 45,000 miles on it. I would like to change my own oil. What kind of synthetic oil can I use and how many quarts?

I just changed the oil on my '05 and went with the Harley synthetic because it was the same price as any other and was conveniently located next to the chrome oil filter at the dealer.
