Best spark plugs/oil for Screaming Eagle?
Hi guys,
I have a custom that is a few years old with a screaming eagle engine. I just bought it, and want to do some routine maintenance as a precaution: new battery, new plugs and new oil.
I don't know much about screaming eagles, or even if they come in different sizes. My engine would be about 4 or 5 years old.
Given that information, could someone please recommend the best replacement for the following:
- replacement spark plugs (I never trust what is already in a used bike)
- replacement battery (if there is one that is better than the rest)
- quantity of oil required for an oil change, and recommended brand and weight.
Thanks in advance for your help!

If it is a high compression engine you need colder plugs,If it normal com. youcan youse a hotter plug. Any good name brand plug will work fine.ultma is a good battery, there are alot of oil topics on this form, I would say any good sny. oil will work fire e.g. mobil 1, ams oil and so on.

- Find a battery that fits your bike, they're all good.
- Find out is your engine is 4 years oldOR 5 years old. Get a manual for that year.
Why - Oil quanities vary from 3.5 to 4 qts in the engine, .75 to 1.0 qts in the tranny and primary, depending on the model and year !

Just an observation, I get around and stop at different dealers, it seems in every Harley shop they are promoting Rush mufflers. Does Harley have something to do with this?

Stock HD plugs run best and last the longest, I change mine twice a year in my 08 SE3. Bike runs best with new plugs.
