So I have been a preferred member for Amsoil it appears. A break down of cost. Primary Fluid $12.69, Transmission $15.09, motorcycle oil $12.29. So average is $13.35 each at five quarts. Plus a WIX Oil filter at $18.85 so I will stay where I am at because is not expensive. Thought I would share. Thank you!

I have used Amsoil in my Harley, sportster for the last 21 years never had an issue with the engine or the transmission. Oil tank never gets above 195°F even on the hottest of days. And yes, I do believe it makes the engine run cooler. I did a test one day drove about 15 miles pulled into this bike rally when I first switched to AMSOIL and I realized I could hold on to my oil filter for 2 seconds was quite surprised. The other guy I was riding with you could not even get your hand close to his oil filter without burn your hand. When I first bought that bike, it never ran under 220°F on the hot days, so yes I believe AMSOIL makes it run cooler. AMSOIL is worth it to me not to have issues. also use AMSOIL in my ATV never had an issue. Very impressive riding my hat is off to you sir.

Great video, based on actual experience and not just opinion. Went with Amsoil last time in my 2011 fxdc due to all the hype but like you, did not notice any loss of heat. It's also hard to find being only available thru private distributors mostly out of their homes. And as you mentioned It's $$$$$. I'm 73, don't ride hard, just cruise but enjoy taking care of my bike. I believe most important more than the brand is changing it regularly. Next change I'm headed to Walmart for Mobile 1.

Ditto, Kevin says Amsoil engines always show the least amount of wear. 2qts of primary, 1 qt of tranny and 4qts of motor oil with filter cost me $108.31. I did however recently install a Barnett extra plate clutch and it doesn't like Amsoil primary oil, I switched to Dexron ATF.

For primary oil I've ran Dextron II transmission fluid for the last 15 years in my 2000 FXST. It's meant for wet clutches and is used in 4wd transfer cases to lubricate thr chains. I believe but can't prove it but it does seem to keep my stator cooler also. I have moved away from Harley badged products largely due to availability and price. With my work schedule I have to make a spcial trip to the city to buy them.

I ran Amsoil for years. I have a 2015 Ultra Limited Low that I bought brand new, but recently had to have some engine work. I was complimented on the condition of the interior of the engine. 3 hole change 4-5 thousand miles. I have a used 2017 Road Glide Special that had 4 thousand miles on it. The previous owner was not kind to this bike. I have used Syn3 and the new H-D heavy synthetic primary oil in the trans and primary. I also added the oil cooler fan and the Screaming Eagle Oil Pump. Bike has run like a champ since. I would tell you also that Mobile 1 and Syn3 are pretty much the same oil. Amsoil is usually the most expensive off the shelf by me at $25. Syn3 is about $20. Mobile 1 might be $16-$18 by me.

I ran the Harley Syn in my 2015 Street Bob that had a Stg 4 in it. When I bought my 2020 SGS that has the M8 the motor (with just a stg. 2) seem to stay hotter longer after it was shut down. I move to Mobil 1 and have been happy with it. I also added a Feuling oil pump and camplate. Oil is the life blood of the motor and since I ride fairly hard..my bike has been tricked out as a performance bagger , I change all 3 holes every 3000 miles.

Klotz or Redline. Group V oils hold up the best in the heat a V Twin creates . It flows much quicker also when you fire up the bike on those mornings in the 30's but warms up into the 70's in the afternoon. Great additive package for a shared sump system like Indian, Victory and Yamaha V-Twins.

@Balticblue93 13 күн бұрын

I can speak from direct experience and tuner of my own bikes. I have a 2014 ZX-14 and a 2021 H2 both running Amsoil and it absolutely makes the bike smoother and shifts are even better. My H2 has 260whp and absolutely rips. I believe I gained 3-4whp by switching over. My 2022 Hayabusa only has exhaust, filter and hasn't been tuned yet, but runs Amsoil after break-in. I run it in my tow boat and the drive is smoother and the top end rpms raised by 250rpm. I am not an Amsoil fan boy and use Valvoline EP HM in numerous vehicles and work vans. I service three bikes, two boats, and 8 vehicles. I do not run Amsoil in the vans and SUV. I have Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in my SRT Jeep and the rest have Valvoline Extended Performance High-mileage, even when they are not all high mileage, but because of the additive and wear packages. But filters make a huge difference in oil pressure and flow also. The three best filters are the Purolator Boss, Fram Endurance and Amsoil EAO. I can link the video testing, if you like. But the bikes for certainly run cooler and smoother from factory oil. Also, I will never use Mobil1 in any vehicle again after they reformulated and changed their filters to semi-synthetic filter media and oil is nowhere near what it used to be. It was cost cutting made by Mobil1. 15 years ago was a different time than now. Might be worth trying a couple oil changes of Amsoil and see what you think. I would be interested what you thought.

Ive been running mobil 1 in my twincam since i bought it in 2020 with no issues, its cheaper and readily available. I did my stage 2 last year, and the engine looked great inside so I see no reason to change. A friend of mine sells amsoil, and it's definitely good stuff pricey, but good. For the primary and transmission i have found redline to be the best, I swear the transmission runs and shifts smoother, and the clutch feel is a bit better, could be in my head, but theres a lot of people who all seem to feel the same way about them.

You do you man. I change my primary and transmission every other oil change. But I change my oil every 3000 miles. I’m down here in Louisiana. All the oil in the primary is, is a wash. The engine oil is the most important. Transmission is not hard on oil either. There’s no need to do a 3 hole flush every oil change.

I run the Mobil 1 synthetic hypoid gear oil in my gear box 75w-140 grade. A gear box should receive a gear oil. That stinky smell of it is all the slippery additives that make it superior to regular motor oil in there. HD recommends 20,000 miles in my 2018 Softail Sport Glide gearbox oil changes, and 10,000 mile primary oil changes. Proper gear oil in a transmission just doesn't break down that easily, especially when the bike just doesn't make that much HP.
