Default Redline Synthetic

I like Redline oils and use this brand in all 3 holes. I am ordering my usual refill but noticed there is another flavor and can't distinguish the difference between the two. Here is what I always use Click here and here is the second choice Click here. Does anyone know what the difference is? If so, which one is best?

Thanks,
Dom

First one is motorcycle oil, second one is automobile oil. Looks like it has the recomended rating Harley calls for.
If you stick with what you have been using you'll be fine.

19 bucks per quart, outrageous.

Have you priced Red Line oils at ECS tuning?

They offer free shipping on orders over $49

Red Line V-twin 20w-50 $15.95

Red line regular 20-50 $11.95

The Red Line Motorcycle oil has more anti wear additives and friction modifiers that are wet clutch compatible (JASO rated)

I tried the Red Line Shock Proof in my 5 speed trans for about a month. At first it shifted smooth and quiet but after a few weeks it it started banging when I shifted so I drained it out and went back to the Spectro.
