    Hi

    I am not new to bikes, but a noob to Harleys, i have a 07 softail & i want to do an oil change. Now all my bikes in the past have used 1 oil for engine/gearbox, but my dilemma is that the Softail has 3 holes & suggested 3 different oils. It has been suggested to me to run a quality Amsoil 20-50 oil in all 3, is this a good idea or am i better getting 3 different oils as specified in manual?

    Open to all suggestions on what types of all to use.

    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers Bloodnut

     I have always stuck with the directions in the owners manual. 3 different oils, albeit I have always used Belray. Whatever you decide stick with it. I think more damage is done by changing brands and ideas.

    I use Penrite Diesel 20-60 in all 3 & have done for years.Oil change all 3 every 5000kms not 8000 as in the manual.
