    What is a good oil to run in a Harley Twin Cam 88

    Is it just the Standard Havoline Dino for cars 20w50 ? Have you tried anything latley ? I've read it's a new formula since they started using the deposit shield.

    What is a good oil to run in a Harley Twin Cam 88

    I went ahead and bought the Harley oil. Despite everyone claiming it is cheap and not worth the money, everything I read points out that it is more than adequate for the job. Everything I can find seems to be SM rated and I'm not putting that in my engine. In the future I might try Amsoil...

    What is a good oil to run in a Harley Twin Cam 88

    I looked at oil last night and everything has the SM rating on it and I'd like to stay away from SM oil. Even the Castrol I quoted above from their website has changed and didn't have the same ratings. Mobil 1 had the same thing.

    Can I really go 15,000 miles before an oil change

    I've put 60,000 miles on it so far and like it very well. It has plenty of power for the highway and passing situations, it is a 5 speed, and I still get 35 - 37 mpg. I don't see how you could go wrong with one.

    Can I really go 15,000 miles before an oil change

    It's a 2004 cavalier with an ecotech 2.2litre 4 cylinder engine. I drive 110 mostly highway miles 5 to 6 days a week. I am using the mobil 1 right now.

    What is a good oil to run in a Harley Twin Cam 88

    I have a Harley Twin Cam 88 and it needs an oil change and wondered if there was some recommendations. I'm leaning toward synthetic but want to stay away from SM rated oil. I'd use diesel oil but it isn't 20w50 and I'd like to stick to that weight. I see a guy on this board likes Havoline...

    Can I really go 15,000 miles before an oil change

    I started using Mobile 1 synthetic that has the 15,000 mile rating on it because I drive a lot of miles and it keeps me from changing the oil all the time. Makes me nervous trying to go that long so I thought I'd ask some opinions. Thinking about draining it at 10,000 miles and having it tested.
