Amsoil?

[His_and_Her_Buells]

What do you guys think about Mobil 1 20w50 for V-Twins?

That's what I ended up going with as I've always used Mobil 1 in my cars and it's easier to get (Autozone just a few blocks away). I know this next comment might spark some controversy but what I have been reading is that Amsoil is very good stuff but they are marketers and not manufacturers. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But I would rather get my stuff from the source whenever possible. If I could've bought my bike from the in East Troy instead of a dealer I would have.

Hope this isn’t to much of a stupid question but aren't the primary and transmission combined in one case. Are there three holes or for oil or two on an xb9s?

yes, it is combined.

can you put the ams oil in the all the holes???

Advanced multi-functional formula for both domestic and foreign motorcycles. Excellent in air-cooled motorcycle engines due to high heat resistance. Can be used in engines, transmissions and the primary chaincase. Not recommended where an API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil is required.

yes, you can run amsoil in both engine & gearcase

LeFox, nice articly. Definately makes up my mind. Only thing I am undecided on is whether or not I am going to use the standard 20W-50 in both or use a different oil in the primary.
