Whatever happened to common sense?

If your unsure about how much oil to add, how about adding a little at a time and checking the dipstick as you add. That way you wont overfill it. My bike,which is a 2009 Electra glide takes approx. 3.5 quarts of oil when completley drained. The primary is approx. 38 oz. You are ok if you can see the oil when you take the primary cover off. The transmission says approx. 32 oz. of fluid but again, check the dipstick! You might not have drained all the fluid.
