Today we are in the shop working on a 2017 Harley Davidson streak glide. I need to install a front tire and do a 20,000 mile service on this motorcycle and I thought I'd take the opportunity to explain what azo products we use per viewer request.

Literally the most useful Harley oil change tutorial I've seen

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

Glad you think so!

@bigdawgqc Месяц назад

"What oil should I use in my Harley Davidson?" By Amsoil Adam. I can't imagine what he would recommend. LOL. Great video & great oil. BUT. Any name brand Synthetic 20W/50 is going to be fine changed at correct intervals or by calendar as mention here. I use Mobil One for engine, Red Line Heavy Shock in tranny & Shell Rotella C-4 in primary. Also, A friend recently traded a 2020 Ultra Limited in on a new one. It had 105K+ miles bone stock. No issues & not burning any oil between oil changes. He does LOTS of long trips away from home. And guess what, he changed engine oil every 5K & tranny/primary every other....all with OMG...HD Syn 3.

@Jeff82556 Месяц назад

I just wondered what signal strength you got with that "Mobile One" and whether or not it was through Verizon or other.

I have a 2016 Street Glide with 101800 miles on it. I have always run Amsoil in the motor, the Amsoil Primary Oil, and Amsoil transmission oil, with no problems. I live in South Florida and started using the straight 60 weight motor oil after I passed 50000 miles, especially for the summer heat here. The oils work great.

Yeah Amsoil did a test years ago where they put Amsoil on a bike at the 1000 mile service and they ran it hard on the dino for 10,000 miles, disassemble the engine and it showed the characteristics of an engine with 2500 miles. Determining that there was an 80% reduction and wear.

THANK YOU awesome content I can't thank you enough for this one new harley owner myself and even though I'm still using my extended warranty I like to know what's going on and how to do it myself because I will have that bike long after the warranty is up and will do the basics myself perhaps with all of us newer subs you could do a full three hole change and all the point to check that are associated with that and please keep up the awesome content great work

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

You’re very welcome, sir, this pretty much covers the three whole change. I know I didn’t show removing and reinstalling the filter but anyone is going to do with themselves should be able to figure that part out pretty simply. And I have other videos out there in the past as well. And just so you know, you do not have to wait for your warranty to be up in order to use Amsoil. Harley knows it’s a better product and some Harley dealerships actually carry it you just have to ask for it. But regardless, it will not void your warranty.

I selected preferred customer program membership for I think 15$ to be able to benefit from promotions and stuff. Absolutely genius! My M8 114 purrs like a kitten 😂

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

Yes, the preferred customer option is great, for $20 a year. You will save way more than that on the product cost. And you can even get the products for your car your lawnmower, your chainsaw, whatever else you have that requires lubrication.

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

That would be the redline shock therapy I believe is what they call it. It does aid and smooth shifting, but there has been a number of problems with that product and transmissions causing damage.

@billbright1755 4 месяца назад

Oil coolers are the best thing ever for air cooled motorcycles. Not only cooling but that much more oil in system. Imagine in 100 degree heat in traffic what the oil heat is. It helps to get rid of excess heat. My Suzuki 1100gsx g runs seven quarts of oil in two separate pump and gallery tracts. One for high volume cooling one for high pressure lubrication. Keeps those sixteen valves in head nice and operational temperature range. The machine is capable of 160 mph so I don’t want to worry about oil failure.

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

I would have to agree with you that oil. Coolers are a great idea on a Harley Davidson, or any other air cold motorcycle. But you know what works even better to cool an air cooled motor,? Air, hence the air cooled. I have an oil cooler on my Harley that even has a fan on it. And if I turn off my Love Jugs, my bike will still overheat. My Love Jugs actually cool my oil better than my oil cooler cools my oil.

@davidfellows6250 4 месяца назад

I swear by Amsoil oil and gear oil, great stuff but I will never again use the primary fluid, used it once, put a couple hundred miles on it and it made my primary scream. I pulled the primary cover and inspected everythig nd everything was ok , I put it back together and just put the 20/ 50 back in and all my troubles were gone. I called Amsoil and told them about it and they more than made it right but just a caution. I was 200 miles from home and just started my trip. all bitching aside im an Amsoil customer for life as ive, over the years have tried all the oils and by far get the most bang for the buck. recently i put lucas in for winter and i won't make that mistake again.its filthy and i burnt about a quart in just 2k.

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

It’s a very strange situation, we have put the primary fluid literally into thousands of motorcycles. I’ve never seen such an issue.

@amsoiladam Месяц назад

If the situation arises I will. However, when we work the rallies, we typically don’t mess with the cooling systems only because of time and focus.

@PAULY-P 4 месяца назад

Quicksilver oil is the best. Full synthetic 20w50. Look at the charts comparing more expensive name brand oils. Between my Hayabusa and 2 Harleys, best i can find. Doesn't break down on Harleys until around 7k+ miles.

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

Amsoil is good in a Harley Davidson for 10,000 miles or one year whichever comes first. And it is a 100% synthetic instead of a “full synthetic” which means synthetic blend.

@TheBlueBikeDoyle 4 месяца назад

Mines 2019 it does the trans to primary in 5000 miles about 2 oz goes into my primary Harley would not do it under warranty if that all it was transferring. I was running Harley synthetic in engine and the Harley synthetic gear oil in trans.and primary. But after my engine rebuild upgrade i now running Amsoil synthetic in all 3 holes now .

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

Yes, they were really picky on the bikes it would choose to do under warranty or recall. Just by the vent kit and do it.

@edwardsalash2612 4 месяца назад

Always enjoy your videos. Just curious about the primary jumping issue. Did you install the vent kit? My 3017 Road Glide had that issue and I was out of the 2 year factory warranty but had a 5 year additional warranty. Harley would not cover it under the extended warranty, which left me fuming. I reminded my dealer that this was the 4th new Harley I purchased from them and if they wanted to continue our relationship they need to take care of this problem. They did so but reluctantly. This is something that should have been a recall.

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

I have heard that there were recalls on this, and then I’ve heard that there were not. But even under recall, their process was pretty stupid to get it fixed and very time-consuming for the customer. I did not install the fix on this motorcycle only because I did not have time to get the parts here before I was going out of town again, I did have the conversation with the customer and we are going to get the parts and probably install it once I get home next week.

@leesire Месяц назад

I think this oil cavitates. Sometimes your oil dipstick will blow out bc of the air pressure build up in the oil tank

@amsoiladam Месяц назад

That definitely would not be an oil problem, that would be a problem with the vent system in your motorcycle

@jimkelley5578 4 месяца назад

Excellent explanation of the oil change process. One question though. Do you install the oil filter dry or do you pre-fill the filter?

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

Although I know, it’s a huge controversy, most times I will at least fill the filter about halfway. Because the filter goes in horizontally. If you overfill it, you just spill it out trying to put it on. But I like to get enough in there to at least saturate the cellulose so that it doesn’t take as long to build pressure once the engine starts.

@Jeff82556 4 месяца назад

I've never seen a video by you before but reviewers below obviously trust you a great deal. I've only got two things to say: #1. I have never heard of any blown engine or trouble resulting from the use of other major oil brands such as Red Line, Mobil1, Lucas, Motul, Pennzoil, etc, so I've got to assume they are fine oils as well. Everybody has their favorite and I have nothing against Amsoil other than the high price. Until someone proves something is wrong with the other brands, which I doubt they will, my budget does not have room for Amsoil. #2 My arm is really tired just from watching you hold that cell phone with your right arm for so long!

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

There are some other great oils on the market, but Amsoil actually outperforms almost all of them and almost all categories. With me, it’s not just about having a favorite it’s about actual test results and seeing that by using Amsoil, I can significantly reduce the chances of oil related failures. And if you have not seen an oil related failure in a Harley, then you’re not looking for it because it’s all over the place. The number one cause of Harley Davidson engine failure is typically oil failure because of the engines overheating so much in the oil not handling that heat. And no oil on the market is ever been proven to hold up to the heat as good as Amsoil. If you want to see how Amsoil compares to other oils, there’s plenty of information out there, showing how it compares. Which interesting as you never see the information from other oil companies Putting their oil up against Amsoil. As far as cost go, I try to explain to people that using Amsoil, although having a slightly higher court price, is actually cheaper to use in the long run. You get more mileage out of it and reduce the wear. So you can actually save money on your oil changes and add life to your engine Choosing another oil because the court price is cheaper is like stepping over dollars to pick up nickels.

@Jeff82556 4 месяца назад

@@amsoiladamAgain, Amsoil is too expensive no matter how much praise it gets and probably deserves. It far exceeds many people's budgets. AMAZON: 1. Amsoil: $32.90 2. Mobil1: $10.86 That's $98.70 for 3 quarts versus $32.58! I don't have a $100,000+ annual income.

@@chipparisi6848 Why would you think that it would last twice as long? That is certainly not true. Who tells you this BS? Amsoil is $32 quart at Amazon. Your "$61" implies it's under $20 per qt, not counting the oil filter price or tax.

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

The physical weight in your hand may feel thinner with the Amsoil product as opposed to the red line, but the Amsoil actually offers far more protection, and will add a lot more life to the transmission. Do a quick Google search and find out all the problems that come from using red line. There are some absolute horror stories out there, because it’s too thick, it gums up and turns into a paste, especially when neglected.

@MrsAA-zn4yj 3 месяца назад

@Whiskeyrow81 I would love to see some written data to back the information you were speaking of

@SaddleTrampTV 4 месяца назад

I can see how transmission oil can bleed over into the primary on a shovelhead, but can't fathom how it could happen on anything newer. But then I've never touched an M8. Perhaps something changed since the evo/twincam days?

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

It happens on some of the late model twin cams as well. It’s because the primary itself is not vented so sometimes on long trips when excessive pressure builds up in the primary when it cools down it tries to use the transmission vent to equalize pressure in doing so it sucks some of the fluid from the transmission into the primary.

@gregrose6915 4 месяца назад

Awesome video Adam. Loved the tip on the primary oil fill. Isn't the Amsoil Transmission oil really a gear oil? it smells like it. What would the weight of that be? Also, on the Amsoil filters, does it matter that they have smaller holes, than the stock Harley filters?

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

Yes, the transmission fluid is a gear lube. It’s approximately 110 weight. It’s just engineered to be exactly what that transmission needs. The holes in the Amsoil filter are smaller, however there are more of them. And it is more than adequate to facilitate the maximum flow that the oil pump can offer.

@@amsoiladam actually the Amsoil filter only got 6 small holes, The Harley filter has 8 bigger holes. The Amsoil filter looks way inferior.

I use Lucas 80W90 in my transmission. I figure a gearbox is a gearbox. But then again, I might be able to get away with that on what I've got.

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

Yes, the hemp oil transmission fluid is a gear lube. It’s even a little heavier than that 8090 that you’re using. And of course Amsoil has always outperform Lucas products.

@jeffwinebrenner8932 4 месяца назад

for the transmission I have heard people speak highly of using the Amsoil severe gear oil 75W-140 in their bikes?

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

Yes, it works very well also, but you don’t always need some thing that heavy

Castrol 20-50 80 -140 for trans less noise m8 vent into trans so it's gonna get dirty no synthetic Castrol has a high zinc oil less tappet wear primary 20-50- seems fine or gear lube

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

Zinc levels are extremely high and all Amazon motorcycle products as well. And it outperforms Castrol by quite a bit.

Good work Adam. I have a 2013 Sportster XL883L. What oil would you recommend for the primary/transmission compartment? I can't seem to find any info on it, especially here in the UK. I run the 3 oils in this video in my 2007 Night Train 96 Twin Cam

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

On sportsters, I will typically stick to the 20 W 50 in both compartments. You definitely do not want to use the azo transmission fluid in the transmission of that particular motorcycle. At least not without adding the friction modifiers needed for the clutch.

@MrLpm119 4 месяца назад

Adam, in the past you recommended AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® 75W-140 for the trans to help finding N and quieting it down. It's that still the case? I ordered a quart and will try the primary oil this go around. I've been a dealer forever but never built the business, just use Amsoil in everything!

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

The transmission fluid is my standard go to with a few exceptions. If you have a 2007 through 2011 six speed transmission, they had some issues with excessive gear, wine, bearing failures, and the really bad clunk into first. The 75, 140 can help with that. If you have a trike into a trailer putting the extra load on there, I like the idea of the 75, 140 again. But not everybody needs the 140. But you’re definitely not gonna hurt it by using it so there is no downside

Hey Adam, thanks for all your videos. I watch this and the homestead channel but my question is, I have the new 24 Road Glide and with the primary level, will it be different on a jiffy stand vs a lift? I have a lift but just curious about the level as I’ve never looked into the primary yet.

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

Your level will be the same as it is on the older models, so just use the one court. But it will need to be checked straight up and down not on the side stand.

What thread sealant do you recommend for the oil plugs. I discovered I have oil transfer problem in my 2019 trike and will have to install the vent/ breather .

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

I actually use this blue stuff that I get at Home Depot. It’s a vibration, resistant thread sealant.

There was no time to get the parts before the customer needed the motorcycle back, but we did discuss the issue, and we are going to install it in the near future

@vincentmurante5142 4 месяца назад

What did the customer decide to do about the oil transfer issue? I also have a 2017 107. When my mechanic found the issue of oil transfer, he replaced the push rod from the right side of the tranny to the clutch and that seemed to stop the problem on mine. One of the other major problems on the first couple years of the M8 is the oil pump itself. I think HD updated it on the 2019 model.

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

The pump was an unrelated issue to the engine boiling system. Period. There is no pump in the transmission or primary drive, I have heard that the fat rod kit does help, but it doesn’t actually cure the problem of the primary being vented. It just makes it harder to pull the oil From the transmission. It basically just adds resistance. Is my understanding that the vent kit is the more logical and permanent solution. He does want to do the repair, but there was no time to get the parts here before I had to leave to go to the Mid-America truck show, and he had to go out of town for a little while as well. so we will convene in the future to do that repair

Valvoline is pretty good. < $ than Amsoil.

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

That makes perfect sense as long as you don’t actually think about it. I’ve run the numbers in multiple scenarios and it’s actually cheaper to use Amsoil than any other product I’ve ever found. I know the court cost may be a little bit higher but because it last longer and protects better it’s actually considerably cheaper to use the long run.

@Mr03fatboy 4 месяца назад

Thanks Adam! I currently run Amsoil in most all my vehicles, however when I run the specific 20w40 in my Indian MC the engine starts having lots of top end Valvetrain noise? when I change back to more of a conventional oil, semi synthetic, the engine runs smooth and quiet? just curious on your thoughts? Thank you

@amsoiladam 4 месяца назад

Engines are designed to perform a function, and in many cases, they have to produce noise to do their job. Changing weights of oil to something thicker and heavier can change the way that your ear hears the sound. It does not necessarily mean that you’re getting better lubrication it just sounds different.

You are correct, I’ve just done so many thousands of these that I know where the level on the dipstick should be when it’s straight up and down so that when you lean it on the side stand, it’s just right.
