Re: Oil

Oh Stephen, you know not what you do poor fellow!

I'm sure most people will see this thread and say "Noooooooooooo"!

Not your fault M8! but there have been 101 Oil threads and all inconclusive to my mind!

Use the search function to see old threads!

Get along to the newbie section and introduce yourself!

Welcom to the forum!

Re: Oil

Motorcycle Oil: AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil vs. Harley Davidson Oil

Forget the fact this is done by Amsoil, but it answers the shite the dealer is feeding you.

The 'which oil' question is a real sticky wicket, and some
As a newbie you would not know

Welcome from East London -try search for 'which oil' then all may become clear, or really fuzzy

I use any brand name oil that is the correct grade

Bottom end of my evo has over 250,000 km on it

The only damage that will occur re not using Harley oil is to your dealers bank account
