No, but I've been thinking about peanut oil ever since the Democratic Convention.

Love my Harleys but i think a lot of people think the things are more than what they are. Any quality oil will do the job. I have used Lucas and will use it again good stuff. You will kill motors faster with the fuel we have today than you will with the any oil on the market.

Cool Oil thread

I think a lot of people are forgetting that the HD engine is a 110 yr. old design. I mean who uses push rods and old aircraft engine design? Well I think that any quality oil changed regularly and cared for with good filters should last. I read a lot more problems on the forum then oil. So pay 10-15$ dollars for oil(syn) not me.

I go to McDonalds and buy their used fryer oil. Its way cheaper than buying new oil. Since I've been using it my turn signals seem to be working much better
