Product Description: All Harley Davidson Oil Recommendations

OBJECTIVE:

To recommend the preferred AMSOIL products for use in Harley Davidson Motorcycles, with reference to second and third oil options.

ISSUES:

Harley Davidson has recommended both gear lube and motorcycle oils in their motorcycles. There are  many different models with different oil recommendations. This can cause some confusion in which AMSOIL will clarify.

DESCRIPTION & RECOMMENDATIONS:

Harley Davidson has manufactured 9 types of engines from 1929 to the current model. Flathead (1929-1974), Knucklehead (1936-1947), Panhead (1948-1965), Shovelhead (1966-1984), Evolution (Blockhead) 1340 (1984-1999), Big Twins 1450 (2000 to current), Revolution/V-Rod (2001 to current) Ironhead Sportsters (1957-1984) & Evolution Sportsters 1985 to current.

Harley Davidson recommends SAE 50 or 60 for the engine oil in their Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, and Shovelhead.  AMSOIL recommends AHR SAE 60 or MCV 20W-50 motorcycle oil for all these older models. Use AMSOIL SVG or SVO for the transmissions. Of these models only the Shovelhead has a chain case that is lubed, and is fed by the engine oil.

In the Evolution 1340, Big Twins 1450, and V-Rods, AMSOIL recommends MCV 20W-50 motorcycle oil in all 3 holes (engine, transmission, and primary chain case). AMSOIL recommends SVG as an alternative oil for the transmission, and SVO as an option for older transmissions. New seals are recommended where excessive leaking exists.

Ironhead & Evolution Sportsters use one sump for both transmission and chain case. AMSOIL recommends MCV motorcycle oil for this common sump.

AMSOIL is the undisputed leader in synthetics.............

Since 1972, AMSOIL  Synthetics have proven to be the BEST.   AMSOIL also engineers and manufactures Ea Oil Filters with Nanofiber Technology which have a 25,000 mile/1-year service life as well as specialized filtration systems for commercial and fleet  applications in cars and light, medium and heavy trucks which can filter particles down to less than one micron (a standard full flow oil filter can only filter to 20-25 microns, and at a reduced efficiency) making oil changes virtually unnecessary and virtually eliminating engine wear.  These filters have been proven by millions of miles of over-the road trucks, construction equipment and fleet service.  

  • AMSOIL saves you time and money.

  • The only 25,000 mile/one- year and 35,000/one- year motor oil in the world.

  • Exceeds the most stringent performance specifications of all major U.S. and foreign automotive and truck manufacturers.

  • Provides up to two-times the wear protection of other motor oils.

  • Increases the life of your vehicle.

  • Improves performance, fuel economy and efficiency.

  • Diesel oil and filtration products designed to deliver 1,000,000 miles for over-the-road trucks before engine overhaul.

  • Used by many national racing teams, fleets, police departments, construction firms and trucking companies.
