amsoil 20/50 in the motor and primary and sevear gear 75/90 in the tranny&nbsp\\;
you will need a new primary cover gasket from the dealer and also the o rings for the motor/tranny drain plugs
5 qt,s&nbsp\\;20/50 for the motor and primary and 1 qt sevear gear 75/90 for the tranny refer to your service manual
for torque values if you need any help changing the fluids just ask here -ride safe&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\ \;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

Best or certainly one of the best oils on the market.

Or 20/50 in all 3 holes will work just as good too.

I spend a lot of time in and around Death Valley NP and was wondering if the 20/50 in all three holes was really a good idea with high ambient temperatures?&nbsp\\; Question: Wouldn't the SVG 70/90 or 75/110 be a better choice for my application?

Buy 5 quarts 20W-50 and 1 quart Severe Gear 75W-90 for the tranny.&nbsp\\; Your engine will thank you for it! I'm lucky that some local indy shops sell it, but you can order it directly from a distributor in your area.

As MACK said...probably the best on the market. There is a post here under the oil section that compares all the sythetics out there. Any synthetic should be better than regular oil but AMSOIL rocks!
