I have used Amsoil in all 3-holes, I ride rough and ever time I change which is every 3-3,500 miles and the magnets on each plug looks awesome. Amsoil all the way, can’t go wrong.

I have a 2016 sportster roadster, should I run 20w-50 or 60sae with transmission fluid? When I check the amsoil website it gives me two choices not sure which one to go with?

[@SwitchSynthetics]

You’re right it does list both 20w50 and the SAE 60 for the engine. I would use 20w50 unless you live and ride in a area where it’s extremely hot. The transmission fluid we offer will give you the best overall performance since it’s designed just for transmissions in the big v twins. www.amsoil.com/lookup/motorcycle/2016/harley-davidson/xl-1200cx-roadster/1202-(73-ci)/?Zo=1585188

@@SwitchSynthetics This is what confuses me a lot. I have a 2017 xl1200c sportster and Amsoil doesn't list sae 60 for mine. I dont think there is difference in the engine of the 2016 xl 1200 cx but why such different information. For mine even no transmission fluid mentioned whereas for the roadster it lists that.

[@SwitchSynthetics]

@@Dude_Virus AMSOIL is probably following the listing from HD. We have a third party company that puts the listings together based on the info from each manufacturer. The 20w50 is the recommended oil, but if you feel better with the SAE 60 it’s your bike and your choice.

[@qdog1019]

I was wondering if it would cause any problems if I switched to synthetic primary and transmission oil and synthetic oil for the motor of a 1999 harley-davidson road king that has ran regular oil it's whole life would if cause me problems with the clutch or any other problems like transmission slipping ? I was wondering about the new vtrin transmission fluid and primary fluids ?

[@SwitchSynthetics]

You can switch anytime without issues. AMSOIL will protect your transmission and primary very well. You might want to change it at factory interval for the first change to AMSOIL if your bike is dirty or high mileage.

Would you say the the primary and transmission oils are better to use than the 20W-50 or is it a coin flip? (2005 H-D Road King)

[@SwitchSynthetics]

The primary and transmission oils have been completely designed for their exact use by our engineers. Yes it will be vastly better than motor oil even though you can use the motor oil we offer in all three locations. We designed the primary and transmission fluids for the riders that demand the best performance from their equipment and want to protect their investment for the long term. Will you see a huge difference in performance? You will see the first gear clunk goes away and you will be able to find neutral when it’s warm. So there are definitely advantages. Most riders get used to how well our lubricants perform and forget all about the typical bike issues until they hop on a friends bike to test it out. I have a list of customers that will only use AMSOIL because of the difference they noticed on the first ride after switching everything to AMSOIL. I can make this bet. If you’re running the Harley recommended oil and ride your bike around the block then change the oil to AMSOIL and ride the same loop around the block you will notice a positive difference in performance.

Can I use Amsoil Sae60 instead of Amsoil 20w50 in my 2017 sportster ? I am not concerned about low temperatures because where I live it doesn't go below 15 degree Celsius, infact ranges from 18 to 38 degrees year round. I am more concerned about high temperature as most of my riding is stop and go heavy traffic as well as highway rides.

[@robshaw2990]

Can you tell me why AMSoil redesigned their oil filter to a dome end bypass and leaf spring? To me the threaded or upfront bypass with a coil spring is the superior design. Was it costing to much to manufacture? Now they are just like any other average JOE oil filter that I can buy for less money. If you want to charge a premium give me a premium like no other available product and I will pay you for it.

[@SwitchSynthetics]

Actually the filters still are superior. Our filtration rate at full flow is 20 microns. The competition is 40 microns. Our filters are still good up to 25,000 miles for some vehicles and 15,000 for everything else. The bypass is only if the filter is full so typically it’s not even needed. Drain back valves are still a specific rubber blend to last longer than everything else on the market.

[@robshaw2990]

@@SwitchSynthetics totally depends on what oil filter you are comparing the Amsoil filter to. I have seen plenty of filters that filter 99% at 20 microns with full flow and will filter for a year. For the price Amsoil oil filters need to really be a huge step above the rest.

[@SwitchSynthetics]

@@robshaw2990 I personally haven’t seen anything else compare or warranted for 25,000 miles.

[@robshaw2990]

@@SwitchSynthetics you are probably correct. I maybe haven't 25 maybe just 20. Not sure why in the world you would run a filter or oil for that matter that long. I havent seen any filter i would trust for 25k. The current longest OCI vehicle I have is 10k according to the stated OCI in the owners manual. Most specfically state changing your oil every 5k miles or at a minimum every 6 months regardless of the miles. Therefore running longer would void warranties or extended service contracts. So it would make sense for me anyway to save money on oil and oil filters and change my oil according to manufactures OCI to keep those things in place. So I if the only way to justify or make the cost of Ams oil products come out to realistic prices is to run them for 25k because they are just that good I really can't unless I want to sacrifice warranties or extended service contracts. Which i guess I don't want to sacrifice. I guess I will stick with my Q- state that according to 540 rat blog actually beat Amsoil anyway.

@@robshaw2990 what vehicles? AMSOIL can extend over the owners manual and we have our own warranty. Remember warranty can’t be voided by using another brand, it’s against the law.

Thanks for the great question. Motorcycle products carry some zinc and phosphorus which is not a synthetic product. Don’t look at formulas though, you’ll never get all the data from everyone and it can change. AMSOIL is a synthetic product and the benefits show in testing and when you throttle through the gears. Base a product on the results of the protection and performance. No other products have the quality, performance and value as AMSOIL does.

[@SwitchSynthetics]

AMSOIL Synthetic V-Twin Primary Fluid has the physical characteristics of an SAE 50 motor oil. This does not mean it can be used in engines - it is merely a universally understood reference to its viscosity. Do NOT use Synthetic V-Twin Primary Fluid in the engine or transmission. Refer to the data bulletin (G3302) for typical technical properties. AMSOIL Synthetic V-Twin Transmission Fluid has the physical characteristics of an SAE 110 gear lube. Although it has the properties of a gear lube, it is NOT a specification-rated gear lube. It is designed to perform in transmissions used in modern separate-sump V-twins. Do NOT use it in the engine or primary chaincase. Consult the data bulletin (G3301) for additional information. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
