Best trans fluid ?
Looking for some advice....... just changed the oil in my 09 Ultra, used Amsoil 20/50.... Now want to change the trans fluid, wondering what is best? Syn oil? Red Line ? Heavy? Light?
Thanks

There's no such thing as "best"
I use BelRay Gear Saver, and like it...... if that helps.

I use Mobil 1 V-Twin 20w50 Syn in all three holes, does fine.
I like to keep it simple.

Any 75/90 gear oil will be fine for 10k miles...

There are a lot of good choices out there. I prefer Redline ShockProof.

Below is a link to an article written by Bert Baker of Baker Drive train about gear lubes.
I know anything will work in a pinch but I don't know why you would want to use motor oil in your transmission when there are better options available.
