Default This What Iam DOIN !

MEN,
I traded the old R/K in and just got me a New 2008 classic R/Ktwo weeks ago and when the 1000 MILEstealer check comes around I'll be using AMSOIL 20/50 IN ALL THREE HOLES. I talked to Ches Cain a AMSOIL TECH. And he told me that amsoil will garuntee their oil in all three holes, and that the 20/50 is actually better than most of the heavier oils in the tranny.

No point trying to convince you otherwise as your mind is made up. Have at it.

Odd are...that if you talk to any HD Tech he'll tell you that HD oil is absolutely the BEST. Same for a Mobil Tech, Penzoil Tech, Castrol Tech, etc.

Bottom line is...use what makes you feel comfortable. There are lots of threads on the subject of oil and lubes and everyone has their favorite.

&nbsp\\;R.K.C.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; This is just my 2 cents worth. 07 FLSTC and at the 1k and 5k I went with syn 3 in all 3 at dealers request. At the 10k now the dealer is saying they HD is recomdending Syn3 in engine and forumla + in the other 2 which I oked and so far I am happy with, I can tell a better difference in the tranny and not any change in primary.. so I will stay with change till my 2 yr warrenty is up and then maybe or probably go with mobil v twin in engine and tranny and stay with formula in primary.... only my opinion&nbsp\\; for what its worth....
