must be a full moon..... another "best oil" thread. does he realize that harleys don't even use oil any more? Actually, I've found that olive oil works best in the motor, unless both cylinders are on full retard, then baby oil works good. only problem with that, is you have to squeeze a lot of babies to get 4 qts of oil!!

I got a question for anyone and everyone.

If olive oil comes from olives
and peanut oil comes from peanuts
where does baby oil come from?

Somebody is a glutton for punishment. Seriously look up "oil" under the search tab, and use this as a lesson and laugh at the responses you get here. It's finta get rough.

Now dammit Gliden - why the heck don't you post this question in the "Air and Muffler Bearings" subsection. What a waste of a good subject. (I just switched over to winter weight air. Bike handles waaaay better.) As to the oil question, it doesn't really matter as long as you don't underfill hole 2 while overfilling hole 1, though hole 3 prefers half as much as hole 2.
