I use 75-110 Amsoil Severe gear in mine, I would use a multi vis oil of some sort instead of the old straight weight stuff.

The Redline you mention isn't the correct product.
It should read...
Redline: V-Twin Transmission Oil with Heavy Shockproof
This is a synthetic oil. Be certain that's what you want.
The color will be Pepto Bismol pink.
Although, the others mentioned are good oils, too.

I use this Redline oil. I buy the powerpak with everything I need to change all 3 holes. I was using Amsoil and switched because my transmission was making noise when hot. It is much quieter with the Redline.

I use 85-140 Lucas gear lub and it keeps the trans quiet and running smoothly.

You're correct Piggy. This is the listing for that oil.

My indy said to run 75-90 Amsoil. It really runs and shifts good.

How can you run Harley Syn in the engine (figure it's 20/50?)..then run the same stuff in tranny and primary?

I changed my tranny oil in the RG over to the Red Line V twin shockproof this past weekend. I do notice the shifting noise is a bit softer now.
