mine is in hd position. under 80 mph runs about 190 over 80 runs 230 takes about 5 min to reach operating temp

 

good info here and interesting thanks-ride safe

 

thanks for the info guys!

 

I would be curious to know if anyone who has switched to a synthetic oil has seen a noticeable change in oil temp for the same given road conditions, and ambient temp???

 

On both my 07 Fat Boy and 08 Electra Glide, average oil temps dropped 20-30 degrees after the switch to synthetic oil.

 

Let me toss this out there. I run Amsoil and a Jagg 10 row cooler. With my Wally gauge I would see 220-230 degrees. I just installed Dakota Digital gauges and now see 215-220 under the same conditions. I think the digital gauge is more accurate.

 

Yes, Dakota Digital gauge package with the oil temp sender in the pan.
With HD natural 20-50 oil, temps would reach 250-260 in the 30 mile stretch to my dealer
With full synthetic20-50, 220-230 same stretch of road.

 

07 Ultra. Harley oil cooler with 180 degree thermostat. Oil temp sender in oil pan. 92 degrees out today. gauge read 195 going down the road a 70 mph.
