trans and primary fluid type?
Sorry for asking what is surely an old question, but from what I'm reading here (after doing a search) and in my manual, I'm good to go using Mobil 1 V-twin 20/50 synthetic in my transmission and primary correct? (2011 Ultra)
Just want to be sure. Thx!

I use Motul 7100 20w50 (in Italy the mobil oil is hard to found) but only for primary and motor holes
For transmission I use a Motul GEARBOX 80W90
is bad o correct?

I use baby oil in primary. Rendered pork fat in tranny. And Harley Sun Wash in motor. Change all 3 holes every 15 miles. Cheap insurance!

This debate will never end..... like ever. So here's my opinion. I think 20-50 is to light for the trans and to heavy for the primary. I run Harley Tranny/primary with Mobil1 gear lube in the tranny and Ford ATF in the primary. Again, thats just me.
