there's an oil an related products sight where they cut filters open an make recommendations on them based on the results an the stock HD filters are a quality filter. Not the best but not the bad either. I stopped using K&N when they moved production to cheap overseas labor. Don't know if quality went down or not I just don't like companies doing that.
thanks chaps, so im taking away from this that the general consensus is to use a high quality mineral oil 20-50
Thanks for all the replays chaps. Oil change and filter done today as well as new plugs and leads. Just used standard Harley oil filter and 360 oil. It's a mind field otherwise. It's 20 years old always had standard Harley stuff and still going. That speaks volumes.
However bloody hell my dad should have put these 8.8mm spark plug wires on years ago. The starting is so so so much better.
