Going to take a 2,000 mile trip this weekend, it is both ways will return on the following Sunday and wont do much riding at the destination. want to change my fluids before I leave. Oil, filter and primary, cant get HD stuff. What do you use. I get Castrol, Mobil 1, quaker and some other autozone stuff here in torreon mexico. What would you use for hot weather as far as oil and Primary. Both bikes, I will be ledning a bike to a friend,both just had solid 5000 mile service, but both have at at 1600 on them since the serivice, normally I would wait but I going through mountains and dessert roads. I ride them both alot! What would you use if not HD stuff. I am not a mechanic. RIde safe all.

 

There are those who would tell you that the HD fluids are crap... (dunno myself, but i don't use them, i like amsoil personally) but of the ones you listed, i'd say the mobil 1 would be the one i'd choose, likely even before i'd choose the HD stuff.

 

+1. Ive used mobil 1. Its a good oil. Can use it in all 3 holes.

 

I also use mobile 1 20/50, If mine only had 1600 miles since last change Id just make sure it was topped off and ride another 2,000 miles

 

Thanks guys, but I like to keep both the babies clean and sweet, I will go with Mobil 1.
I have so much trouble with the dealer here for parts and other chit it is not even funny, but since I went HD A few years ago, I have always went with HD parts and lubes, but the chit these guys try and tell me is crazy if I dont use HD parts and Lube; well I am not sure so I buy what they tell tel me. Well F*** them.
SO then, M1 here I come. thanks for the advice. I love to RIde, but I am not a wrench, had to ask. Ride safe all!!!!

 

If youre coming stateside, have the oil changed while here and bring some back with you for the next time.

 

THanks, I appreciate that! Ride Safe!!!
