I get my fluids at Arnie's liquor. What's really interesting is where I get rid of them.
Huh? Oh.....the bike.
Nevermind.

I get Amsoil from a friend just north of Lansing Mi. I use 20/50 in all 3 holes never had any oil related problems with any of the 3 Harley's I've owned. I buy it by the case 12 qts. Last case in April of this year was $109.87 that was the total with shipping included. I think that is a little over $9 a qt. Seems like the shipping was around $8 or something like that. I remember him saying it was like $8.50 a qt if we didn't add in the shipping. When I took my bike in for the 1000 mile service I ask if I could supply the oil and the service manager wanted to know what kind, I told him Amsoil in all 3 holes and he said no problem. He assured me I will not have any warranty problems with Amsoil or any of the top brands.

I'm probably one of the few that will admit to running H-D SYN (motor and trans). I use Formula+ in the primary. I buy when the dealer has a sale (usually does 20% off about twice a year).

I buy Amsoil at a local indy shop. He doesn't carry the gear oil so I find that at a small rally held once a year about 20 miles from my home. When I change my oil I then buy more for the next years change.

I get the RevTech oil filters off ebay.

After reading all that was published about synthetics,and so many exellent features of one product.For years now have been using Amsoil.Before that since the 70's have used only synthetics.Life is good.
