Question Sold on Amsoil but still have a ?

Ok, so the next oil change I am switching to Amsoil. But, I am still confused on whether to use 20W50 in all three holes. Any info on what to use would be appreciated.

I was in the same boat as you yesterday I could not make up my mind. So I just gave the tech line a call and the guy at Amsoil said that "they recomend the 20w-50 Advanced syn motorcycle oil product # MCVQT in all three holes". So that what I went with. I have Amsoil in everything I own at it's never let me down.

Thumbs up

Use the 20w50 MCV in the engine, 10w40 MCV or 20w50 MCV in the primary, 75w110 SVG in your trans. Your trans will thank you by being nice and smooth and quiet.
