    Everyone has their favourite oils of various brands Pete, if you go to the Penrite oil finder and punch in your bike details it will tell you what they recommend(pretty sure that will be the oil you mentioned in all 3 holes)same for most oil companies, I use what I use based on where I live and what I think I know.

    I use the Penrite MC-4ST (syn) in my '22 LowriderS for the engine, Belray's Primary Chaincase oil for the primary (non syn recommended by my tuner) and Redline Shockproof heavy in the g-box- This is just what I use HD oil's are ok but you can get better non HD oil for less

    Penrite recommend the oil in the pic for all 3 holes in your 2020 heritage. (All full 100% synthetic)....

    As you know , Harley recommend full synthetic in all 3 holes, (but they dont say what vercosity).... At least they are both on the same page as full synthetic goes .....
    My bike is 2015 Streetglide.... Penrite recommend the same oil for engine ,,,, but different oil for both primary and tranny....

    I dont want to start a mad oil debate,,, just replying to your post.....I'm just to old for that .....

    Personally I dont care if people put Emu Piss in their ride.... I was riding out west nsw and stopped at a pub for a quick drink and asked an old bloke how far to the next fuel,,,, he said about 100km,,,, but then said , dont stop there , go another 50km,, their fuel is fucking Emu Piss,,, So it must be a brand out there ........

    "NO SUBSTITUTE ALLOWED" Dontcha just love that bollocks ?

    The Penrite oil on 4 litre bottles is USUALLY just too dear that way, buy 5 litre tubs of 10w60 on Supercheap's 20/25% off days.

    Don't be dissuaded this Penrite 10w60 has a wee motorcycle on the front showing OK for wet clutch operation.

    For what it's worth I have used the Penrite 20w50 V-Twin stuff before now as a local Supercheap had it on clearance and it worked out less per litre than the 10w60 on the day.

    PS sorry to hear about Goldfields Bike works , what is that all about ?

    I brought my first Harley from Goldfields Bikeworks in 1996, Brett was still in the old shop then, the new one had yet to be built, he got the shits with HD I heard, don't know if he is still the proprietor these days, shame it's shutting, long way to the next dealer unless another shop there picks it up, given the money in that town it's hard to imagine it's a lack of sales thing.
