I'm not sure the 5th quart is for the primary- they only give you one o-ring. Go figure. I always like to have an extra quart of oil on hand so perhaps that's why?

Regardless, they also sell that kit with 4 quarts of oil.

Agreed. That's why I do my own service. Plus I know it's done correctly or whom to blame if it's not.

You though they thought that any Harley owners would be cheapskate enough to check their math?
Just think all the time they save the average Harley owner that makes a six figures income..
​​​​​​Not that they would actually bend over to do it.. The service manager just tells them they are saving on their PM by buying the package...

The 5 qt package is intended for those who have M8 engines as they take 5 qts. HD also offers a 4 qt package.

3 quarts for the oil bag, 2 for the sump.

Just bought chrome K&N oil filters from Walmart.com. And that's embarrassing to admit because I really, really hate Walmart. But, $7.88 each and free store pickup is too hard to resist.
How did you get KN filters for that price? On the website they are $15.16/each.

That is not the correct one for your application. It should be the KN-171C. The one you ordered is for a Sporty or EVO.

Ruh-roh. I thought that was the one I'd been using. I better double check...

That's what I get for midnight ordering after a few margaritas.
