Oil
What oil can I use in all 3 holes on a 2011 FLHTK.
I am in South Africa and HD oil is way to expensive and we don't have Amsoil and other US brands. So I am basically asking what viscosity would be best. Thanks

If you have an automotive parts store that handle various labels (brands) common in your country, a top brand of 20w50 will work in all three, a synthetic in your local brands would be better. Welcome to the forum.

If you cant find any V-twin specific oil in a local brand for all three holes you can use different oils in the different holes. Any 20W- 50 in the engine. The primary needs to be clutch friendly so a motorcycle clutch friendly oil or many people use ATF. Light weight gear lube in the transmission.
