You know something........I shoulda changed my oil about 1,000 miles ago. Thanks for reminding me. Now if I just can get my tools to do it....I have a ton of maintenance to get done. Soon.....I hope. Sh!T the mount for my front foot peg worked loose and almost bounced on down the road. Lucky I looked because my shifting felt wrong. |

Other than looking at the micron filtration, how would you know if one filter is better than another? You can't tell by the oil! |

Since none of us can afford that, we have to rely on the less reliable, but best we got, nominal micron rating.
HD OEM twin cams= 5 micron nominal.
Best I can do. |

I'd go a step further.
Syn3, mobil, royal purple, whatever in crankcase/oil bag
Formula+ or Belrays primary stuff in primary
Belrays tranny stuff in tranny.
Sure, it's 3 oils, but it's not like the primary and tranny use it up. |

Bluesfan, did you just wake up from a months long nap. Just kidding,miss your insight,esp. on oil related issues. Just noticed you replied to a month old post. Next oil change, I'm thinking about switching to Bel Ray in the primary and trans. What is your recomended trans wieght(Bel Ray)? Do you have a good source to purchase Bel Ray from?
Thanks,Sprung

Nap!? I was busy!
I hate it when I have to work.
No source for Bel-Ray except google or the local shops. | | |
