Hey guys n gals, I'm not trying to start a debate or argue what's best........... just thought it would be interesting to know what everyone uses in their bike (eng oil, tranny, primary). For me it's Mobil 1 Syn for Vtwin 20/50 in all 3 holes.

I've been using Castrol 20/50 in the engine for years, I use the HD primary and trans oils. Got lots of miles and years and the bike still runs great.


You can have it cheap.
You can have it fast.
You can have high quality.
PICK ANY 2....

Sorry couldn't resist. I use chevron with techron. Keeps the injectors clean. As far as oil transmission fluid, fuel additives. I use whatever my HD dealer recommends. Probably cost to much.

Just mainline it into the fuel line.

:icon_laughing: :icon_laughing: Just Kidding, CHEVRON 91 WITH TECHRON ( thats gas by the way) keeps the injectors clean. LOL I wasn't clear if he was asking about gas, oil or tranny fluid so I gave and answer for all three.

As for gas, I've found that Mobil premium seems to burn the best in my bike. I get 1or 2 more miles to the gallon and slightly better performance. Why i don't know...

just buy kerosene instead of jet fuel, same stuff. you might find a little hard to light though, I would recommend a good race fuel of 112 or higher octane rating
