I once used M1 V-Twin in all three holes but really couldn't justify $9.00/qt oil in the primary or transmission. I currently have Schaeffer's 20w50 racing oil in the engine, and 15w40 Rotella in the primary and trans (which is shifting beautifully, btw)

For those of you that mentioned it, I am well aware that H-D calls for 20w50 in temps above 40F, and have used both Mobil 1 V-Twin and Schaeffer 20w50 in my FLHR. I do use Delvac 1300 as my winter fill however, since I do ride year-round. What prompted me to start this thread was something I...

I decided to go with Schaeffer 20w50 Racing Oil (product #705). I was able to get it at a reasonable price from a local NAPA jobber. I will have a UOA done and post it later.

HDEO all the way. I run 15w40 Rotella in my 1946 Ford 2N in the summer months, and 5w40 Rotella for winter use.

I needed some inexpensive conventional 20w50 oil for a short OCI on the Harley and went to the local motorcycle "superstore" to get some now-hard-to-find Pennzoil motorcycle oil (which I've used before and really like) Surprise, surprise, to find that they have it marked at $6.99/qt! I bought...

Just curious if anyone runs HDEO (like Rotella or Delvac) in their Harley, either in the engine or primary/transmission?

The Harley gets Sunoco Ultra or Shell V-Power exclusively.

2009 H-D Road King Mobil 1 V-Twin*/OEM 5-micron filters. *I use Delvac 1300 15W40 HDEO for winter use.

I ride almost daily. I upgraded from a Sportster to the Road King in January of 2009. My commute is 90 miles round-trip, and I put 13,000 miles on my bike from January 5th, through September 17th when I deployed to Iraq. Because the Roadie came with saddle bags, I haven't felt the need for any...
