First time poster, joined today in order to complain about a dealer.

 

Seems to happen a lot doesn't it?

 

Questionable post. Not one thing he said had a thing to do with what lube was used. Whole story sound a bit off.

 

Well Harley sells and recommends the heavier gear lube now and they can’t hold it against warranty for not using their brand. I’d say they are trying to screw you if the facts you presented are correct.

 

Maybe the Harley dealer has read this thread -

Holy crap, I have Walmart gear oil in my 07 FLHTC with 102000 miles on it... I wonder if the warranty is voided now. Come to think of it....I’ve had Syn3, mobil1, Napa...I think you have a bad transmission.

 

One and done....
