RE: Primary oil
I use Amsoil all the way around. 20w/50 in the crank, 75w/90 in the Trains, and 10w/40 in the primary. I have a 05 FLHRC-I with almost 30,000 miles on it and the last 20,000 have been with Amsoil. It does shift better with Amsoil. I road it to Sturgis from Picayune Ms. the second day we were on I-90 between Sioux Falls and Sturgis and the temp was 108degees. We had about a 50 mile an hour head wind and it was all we could do to keep the bikes between 70 and 80 mph. We were going through hell and I just knew we would be changing the oil in Sturgis but when we got there the oil was good. I did not change or add any to the bike until we got back. The only issue with Amsoil was that there filters leaked some.

2003 FLHT 27,000 miles
Engine: Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50
Tranny: Mobil 1 75-90 Gear Oil
Primary: Mobil 1 MX-4T 10W-40
Change every 5,000 miles, no problems, and neutral is very easy to find since the switch to 75-90.

RE: Primary oil
Just a thought! but other than copperhead and Preistfan I don't see many authors mentioning how many miles they have on the bike since the changeover. I have 55,000 and use all hd fluids. Not to say there the best but haven't had any real problems.. Would consider changing trany fluid but haven't .
