  I rang HD to find out what to use and they advised getting their oil obviously, but it would save a drive each time i have to service, if HD oil is the better of the two i will get that but thought id ask here, im a new harley owner so still getting used to more than 1 oil

  Im not a fan of Penrite Oil, you can always smell a bike in front of you if it's running Penrite. But you should be asking questions in the workshop area of the forum

  Welcome. Lots of topics and posts already about oils. Do a text search and you'll get more than enough info although lots of opinions on this so no clear answer. I use spectro not cheap but good

  I hear that their MC4 10W40 Full Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is OK, but I have to admit I still like my Mobil 1 V Twin Full Synthetic.

  Back to the Penrite . Have a look at their website. They pretty much have every lubricant for any compartment in most modern vehicles.
  Don't know where they make all these oils, apparently in Australia. Does anybody know where the factory is located?

  Thanks fatbat. These factories must employ shit loads of people. Are there any employees on the forum I wonder?
  The reason I ask is cos I have a technical question that I wont ask here in this thread cos yous are all too fukin thick.
  Except for chinky
