1k Fluid Inquiry

In the midst of doing my 1k, already got the oil for the engine(Mobil 1 syn) but I am still looking for a good trans and primary fluid that isn't crap. I want Redline or Amsoil but would rather not have to order it as nobody locally carries either. Are there any others out there that are worth a flip? Thanks.

The mobil 1 syn works in the primary and tranny too, and is equally rated along side of amsoil.

The only problem which is a big problem. Mobile1 will foam up and break down when heated. Which will shorten the life of the oil. AMSOIL will not. Yes Mobile1 may be cheaper but, is it worth it.

Mobil 1 has an oil that is made for the primary. Don't remember the numbers on the bottle but it will say for harley primaries. MT4 or something like that. I've used several different oils for it and that one has been the best so far.
