Default Red Line ShockProof Gear Oil
Changed my transmission fluid Monday night. Used a measuring cup to ensure the right amount of replacement oil - the Red Line product, was added.
Wednesday morning the RL oil is still adhered to the sides of the measuring cup.
That stuff is incredible!
Thanks for the tip.

Ride In Peace

What year bike do you have? I have an 08 UC and a 09 Dyna Lowrider, They both take 1 quart (32 oz)of trans fluid. I just switched from Mobil 1 to Redline, It's good oil!

It looks more like Pepto Bismal. I have been using it for 40k miles. I love the smoother shifting. You can't argue with less clunk.

Was that the lightweight shockproof oil or the heavyweight shockproof oil? For short, what is the exact name of this oil? I was using Amsoil 75-140 and thought I would give this a try

I use the dipstick to be sure mine is filled to the proper level.

My 05s take between 22 and 24.I will not be using any kind of syn.oil in my gear case because of seal problems.I'm done with that noise.I'm glad that those that are using have had good experiances with it but it's not for me any longer.For the time being I still run syn.in the motor but begining to think syn.have no place in a Harley.
