OIL

I was told by the AMSOIL man that could put 20 W 50 in all 3 holes on my 2007 Ultra. What do you think?

RE: OIL

Have heard that also, but think you're better servedusing Amsoil Severe Gear for the tranny, especially with an '07. It'll smooth out the tranny better than the 20W50.

RE: OIL

20w50 in the engine and primary and 75-110 Severe Gear in the transmission. The heavier lube in the transmission makes it way quieter. If you look at the AMSOIL web sight they recommend75-110 first and 20w50 second in the transmission.

RE: OIL

As said earlier, use the search engine. There's more than you could ever want to know about oil and filters for your bike.

RE: OIL

I wouldn't use 20/50 of any brand in the trans, that's MOTOR oil.

If you really want to see an improvement, try this in the trans. I changed from M1 75/90to this and can't believe the difference.

RE: OIL

I use amsoil 20w-50 in the engine. Amsoil severe 75w-90 in the trans, and either amsoil 20w-50 or hd formula + in the primary. the primary does not need sybthetic oil, and formula + is cheaper and works just fine. The last time I talked to my amsoil guy, he told me about the 75w-110 for the transmission. I will be going to that on the next change, I believe.
