Im very happy with this oil, will now have been using it for its 5th oil change.
There are very FEW 50 weight HEDO oils on the USA market besides Harley Davidsons own oil.
Mystik JT8 is one of them. Amsoil makes another and either Redline or Royal Purple as another.
HEDO is listed as the preference for the new Rushmore bikes if not using Harleys own oil, with 50 weight as top choice but you also can use a 40 weight.
I have no intention of switching, in fact just ordered 4 more gallons for the next two years. I love the way the reports come back, I LOVE the way the engine runs and sounds or should I say LACK of sounds from the engine!?!
This oil saw a mix of (approx) 60% interstate up to 80 MPH, 30% local up to 60 MPH, 10% heavy traffic. Anywhere from flat SC riding to the Smoky Mountains of NC and TN.
Late spring and summertime temps 90 to 103.
Average oil temp falls within what Harley calls normal 230 degrees.
Normal for me was 220 to 245. highest I measured was 264 degrees.
