Default Transmission and clutch fluid question...

So I don't have a manual yet and need to do some maintenance...Can you please tell me without a doubt what I need and how much I need to change the transmission and clutch fluid or are they the same etc....I need to get her ready for a long hot ride...Can this fluid be purchased at like walmart or is it Harley/motorcycle fluid specific? Its an 04 Screamin' Eagle Electra Glide with the 103 and 95000 miles ...Any and all info would be appreciated...
Please see my other post on oil....

I would recommend a full synthetic for the transmission such as Spectro 75w140 or Redline 75w250 gear oil 23oz. In the primary case you need 32oz of primary case fluid such as Spectro or ATF.

The primary gets filled to the bottom of the clutch spring with the. Bike upright and level, it is not a set amount and varies from bike to bike, 04 the trans got 28oz

Ok just spoke with Harley in San Antonio...He said Synthetic 20-50 in all 3 holes...Can anyone verify this? I know he should know but of course its different from on here...
4 quarts in the crank case...
Transmission checked on side stand...
Clutch checked straight up...
He says this is whats called for for 2003 and up Screamin Eagle 103's But I have 95000 miles so any input would be great...

Ok so I grabbed 5 quarts of Mobil 1 15-50 full synthetic oil for the crank case and primary and a quart of Valvoline 75-140 synthetic for the transmission... Keeping in mind I have almost 100000 miles, should this work ok?

Awesome....So one more thing....Filling...
I know the crank case should take 4 quarts but check dipstick while in the side stand right? Thats what I've been doing...

Clutch filled to spring while bike is straight up?

Transmission side stand?
Whats the procedure for these 3 things...Thank you again...
