    Hi there everyone, 
    Look to see what oil you guys are using in your WLA’s these days?
    Thank you in advance.

     You beauty  !  Another oil thread.  I use Penrite full synthetic.

    Hey Phil, this is what Penrite recommend from their range, most brand name oils have a search function to locate what they recommend for your bike, I know that's not specifically what you asked but there are not many WLA riders around, couple on here but infrequently.

    Don't know what you're like on the computer Phil but google Penrite Oil Finder and follow the prompts. 
    Their website is quite impressive.  I'm not real clever on the computer but I just did it on the phone and got the same answer as Hilly.

    i use Amsoil on my other Harleys and just wanted to see if there was anything better than Penrite.

    I don't have a WLA, but this is what I use in my Shovel, never had any issues with it.

    Thanks Benno,

    Where do you purchase that from?

    I have been getting it from my local Indy when I was living in Brisbane, have moved now, I just googled it, you can get it online here in Aus. Every bloke has their on opinion on oils, but straight 50 is the go in the old ducks. How do you like the flatheads, rode with a few, haven't had the chance to get on board yet.

    Love it but it’s a pain in the area I live in. Too many hills. But love it.
