Researching service items for my 2013 FLHTC (Electra Glide Classic), I've been reading the forums and am seeing encouraging posts regarding Amsoil 20W-50 for motor oil and Bel-Ray Big Twin Transmission for the tranny. Have not seen anything yet on primary, though. What do y'all favor?
best primary oil??? I use Rotella T in mine, however if you'll check the top of the page in the left corner you'll see a tab that says harley davidson forums, click on that then scroll down to the oil and oil related tab, you'll find a sticky there thatt says What Primary Oil, it has 450 some posts all the opinons you could ever want.

Been using the Lucas and have no complaints. But I didn't have any complaints with the Drag, Rotella, or Formula+ I've used previously.
Just happened to get a good deal on a case of the Lucas.

Like has been said, use good oil and change by manufactures recommendation. I have been a Redline user for many years and have been completely satisfied. Racers Wholesale has been my go to supplier for Redline products and Redline has a PowerPack which has everything you need for a complete oil change, minus the oil filter plus free shipping. They sell K&N filters or go to HD

Formula+ in my bagger primaries, the (hydraulic) clutch and the compensator seem to like it.
I asked Alto Clutches (going to try some of their Carbonite plates in the '09 SERG 117/DD7) what their preference was as far as Primary fluid, "Anything but Drag (fluid)"
