I have seen in the manual not to run it, but many have with no problems including me.
AMSOIL 20W50 in the motor & primary. AMSOIL 75W90 in the tranny.
Originally I bought the 134C AMSOIL Filter, but saw everybody using AMSOIL on this site uses the 137C. The only difference I can see is the 137C has no drainback valve and is slightly longer.
I am interested in why everybody went with the 137C. The only info on V-Twins I find on the AMSOIL chart is for HD and the main one they reference for our sizr motor is the 134C. No reference for Big Dog.

Actually Rottela is very good oil and has seen the inside of many of American V-Twins.

I've been running Redline Synthetic in all 3 compartments since my 500 mile oil change. I'm considering switching to Amsoil, however, and was wondering how their tranny oil stacks up against Redline ShockProof..which is pretty good stuff. Any feedback on that would be appreciated. 
I know... rub has told me what his engine builder told him about that oil.. I just like messin with him...:roll:

I wood have never believed it but all the studyin I did said that was the way to go, cause all the other oil didn`t have all the goodies in it that Rotella had I had all ready got amsiol and was gonna run it but my motor man said the rings wood never have seated and beins this guy was no shade tree wanna be I beleived him based on what else he had running around the country...Strange thing about the hole deal is all three of my harleys been running Synthetic screaming eagle oil and I built all them motors too and they all leak but my 124 dont leak a drop and its got cheep Rottelia in it but synthetic will leak wear regular oil wont.
