You can use either HD Syn 3 or Formula +.

Are you looking for the old Primary Chaincase Lubricant, or the newer Formula or the newer Syn3?

I used the old Primary Chaincase Lubricant in my '89 and later started using the Formula + I use in my 2003.

what he is referencing is if you go to the hd online store, you can no longer find formula + listed. i've been wondering this myself. can't find it online, but the local store has heard nothing about discontinuing it.....
