Amsoil??

[Money]

Hola, I am considering running Amsoil Synthetic 20x50 in my 2007 K9 117. I'm ready to sign off on using this oil in the motor but after doing some more research and looking at the Amsoil information - Amsoil recommends that you use this same oil in the primary as well as the transmission. Does anyone have any experience with this? I've always used specialty products for these parts but using only one product would be nice. Thanks as always for any input. Thank the Gawds the weather up here in the NW is finally clearing up for some dry riding,

Personally I like using different fluids in the engine/ primary/ transmission. Only if for the reason if one starts leaking I can tell by the color of the fluid. Never used Amsoil so not much help there. Good luck!

A good 20w50 synthetic in the motor. A good gear oil in the transmission, and just regular harley primary oil in the primary. Just a recommendation. If you do a search on here, theres a ton of info on lubricants.

Schaeffer oil is also very good. A lot of us run ATF in the primary.

If you use atf in the primary (way cheaper) make sure you only use type F. Clutches dont really like the full synthetics.

ATF type F in the primary, Rotella 15w - 40 NON - SYN. on fresh rebuilds, for 100 - 150 miles. Finally Mobil 1 15 - 50 after the Rotella. Been doing this for years on all brands of air cooled, and water cooled bikes.

John is the man and has way more knowledge and experience then I do. I have used amsoil for years with good results in every motor I have had (big diesels to air-cooled twins) and specifically been running it in my harley's, big dog and iron horse since I have had them... just my 2c as well.

Schaefer oil is fantastic. We run their 75-140 With Molly gear oil in our rotary tables and they never heat up anymore. One rigs rotary would get to 160*, but with this oil it’s ambient temperature now. It’s about $700.00 per 5 gal bucket.

In all my motors of my personal vehicles and all my motorcycles, tractors and lawn mowers I run only Royal Purple full synthetic oil. Made local by Calumet refinery. When CeCe was in grade school she played travel soccer. One of the dads was a chemist at Calumet . When I found out what he did we talked about their products. He said what sold him was how the company services their vehicles. Every 10,000 miles they spin off the old oil filter and top off the oil. The oil is never changed. He said a true synthetic will never break down. But they have it in their brochure to change the oil and oil filter every 10,000 miles.

Amsoil is not what they advertise. Schaefer oil is the best oil we have tested for the engine. Engine will run 25* cooler. Schaefer or Lucas 75W140 in the transmission. And either ATF or a Harley primary fluid.
