I have used Amsoil in all 3-holes, I ride rough and ever time I change which is every 3-3,500 miles and the magnets on each plug looks awesome. Amsoil all the way, can’t go wrong.

hello there how are you, been a dealer since nov.2020. love your videos, keep them coming. very educational
Did you join with my referral link?
Unfortunately no, they assigned me to a local dealer in my area. Love the videos though. Great stuff, keep them coming
@@marckeynews all the new ones are private for my dealers. I try to do training once a month. facebook.com/groups/independentamsoildealers/
I have a 2019 sportster, will amsoil vtwin primary fluid be the best for the primary?
Yes the AMSOIL Primary fluid will be the best choice for your Harley Davidson primary drive.
if it was available locally id be using it but when i need a qt or a oil change im not waiting days for it to arrive
Where are you located? We do work with businesses and stores. I could work with a local business to get them to carry what you want. We typically work with smaller independent companies, we don’t sell to big box stores.
Would you say the the primary and transmission oils are better to use than the 20W-50 or is it a coin flip? (2005 H-D Road King)
The primary and transmission oils have been completely designed for their exact use by our engineers. Yes it will be vastly better than motor oil even though you can use the motor oil we offer in all three locations. We designed the primary and transmission fluids for the riders that demand the best performance from their equipment and want to protect their investment for the long term.
Will you see a huge difference in performance? You will see the first gear clunk goes away and you will be able to find neutral when it’s warm. So there are definitely advantages. Most riders get used to how well our lubricants perform and forget all about the typical bike issues until they hop on a friends bike to test it out. I have a list of customers that will only use AMSOIL because of the difference they noticed on the first ride after switching everything to AMSOIL.
I can make this bet. If you’re running the Harley recommended oil and ride your bike around the block then change the oil to AMSOIL and ride the same loop around the block you will notice a positive difference in performance.
@@SwitchSynthetics Thanks for the reply. I have heard a lot of positive comments about your products and I will give them a try.
@@jconnsr10 please order from www.SwitchSynthetics.com and contact me with any questions. Thank you!
Just order all three Amsoil products. Hope it's better than syn3. Time will tell.By the way very informational RUclips video.
I was wondering if it would cause any problems if I switched to synthetic primary and transmission oil and synthetic oil for the motor of a 1999 harley-davidson road king that has ran regular oil it's whole life would if cause me problems with the clutch or any other problems like transmission slipping ? I was wondering about the new vtrin transmission fluid and primary fluids ?
You can switch anytime without issues. AMSOIL will protect your transmission and primary very well. You might want to change it at factory interval for the first change to AMSOIL if your bike is dirty or high mileage.
I have a 2016 sportster roadster, should I run 20w-50 or 60sae with transmission fluid? When I check the amsoil website it gives me two choices not sure which one to go with?
You’re right it does list both 20w50 and the SAE 60 for the engine. I would use 20w50 unless you live and ride in a area where it’s extremely hot. The transmission fluid we offer will give you the best overall performance since it’s designed just for transmissions in the big v twins. www.amsoil.com/lookup/motorcycle/2016/harley-davidson/xl-1200cx-roadster/1202-(73-ci)/?Zo=1585188
@@SwitchSynthetics This is what confuses me a lot. I have a 2017 xl1200c sportster and Amsoil doesn't list sae 60 for mine. I dont think there is difference in the engine of the 2016 xl 1200 cx but why such different information. For mine even no transmission fluid mentioned whereas for the roadster it lists that.
@@Dude_Virus AMSOIL is probably following the listing from HD. We have a third party company that puts the listings together based on the info from each manufacturer. The 20w50 is the recommended oil, but if you feel better with the SAE 60 it’s your bike and your choice.
Can i use the 20w50 synthetic motor oil in the primary and tranny safely?
Also, I've always used mineral oil, can I switch to full synthetic 20w/50 for all 3 holes? Thank you
Yes you can use AMSOIL 20w50 in all 3 fills on your Harley safely. For best performance use our primary and transmission fluids that are specifically designed for use in the primary and transmission. You can switch to AMSOIL at any time from a conventional oil without worrying.
@@SwitchSynthetics thanks. I live in Italy and your kits from Germany
(ATO 24) DO NOT have separate tranny and primary oil just straight up 5 bottles of 20w/50.
What can I do to get the kit with the specific tranny and primary oil. Thank you very much. Hope you can help me because want to start running amsoil in my bike 2015 dyna Street Bob 103TC.
I only heard GREAT about Amsoil. Thank you Very much
@@enrico1856 unfortunately I can’t help you out of the US/Canada countries. You might be able to contact your distributor to see if you can order it.
I use Harley Davidson's Screaming Eagle SYN3 synthetic 20W50 oil 👌🏽
You’re missing out on the extra performance in your bike that only can be released when using AMSOIL. But you can always try it for yourself at www.SwitchSynthetics.com
Stop using that.
@@dan1769 stop using what?
@@SwitchSynthetics I was replying to Supreme82@ comment. (To Stop using Screaming Eagle Synth. Oil.)
@@dan1769 I couldn’t agree more!
Can I use Amsoil Sae60 instead of Amsoil 20w50 in my 2017 sportster ? I am not concerned about low temperatures because where I live it doesn't go below 15 degree Celsius, infact ranges from 18 to 38 degrees year round. I am more concerned about high temperature as most of my riding is stop and go heavy traffic as well as highway rides.
That is fine. The 60 weight will work great for you, thanks for being a great customer!
@@SwitchSynthetics Thank you, just hoping that it won't cause any issues and the straight 60 weight would be thin enough for a cold start.
@@SwitchSynthetics Do you recommend any specific primary oil for thr Sportster or that Amsoil SAE60 is fine ? Or do I need to use the 20w50 in it ?
@@Dude_Virus The highway rides are what helps keep the bike cool, the only real worry is the stop and go. The 20w50 is what would be best but I see no problems with the straight 60. We do offer oil analysis if you would like to test a sample, it is pretty affordable too.
Hello, can I top off Harley Syn 3 with Amsoil? Thanks,
You can but you won’t get the benefit of using AMSOIL if it’s diluted with other products. It’s best to switch over completely if possible. We have a sale going on now too, click here www.amsoil.com/offers/pc/?zo=1585188 and for a limited time use code CC0422UCS to get $5 flat shipping on any order under $100. Anything over $100 ships free in most areas. Enjoy the ride!
Great information. Thank You
You’re welcome.
Hai...can I use amsoil 15w60 v twin oil to my Harley Davidson Fatboy.. instead of 20w50
You might be able to but it’s not what is recommended. Why would you want to?
@@SwitchSynthetics 20w50 is bit difficult to get
@@MrRajkarthi I have 20w50 in stock and can ship to you anytime www.SwitchSynthetics.com
First of all amsoil website doesnt have 2018 fat bob 114 listed...second of all can i use dedicated amsoil transmission fluid on my fat bob 114
Yes you can use the dedicated transmission and primary fluid. Here is the link that should work. Sometimes with Harley Davidson it is best to try to model number since the names can be a little strange. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Nobody sells the transmission and primary fluid
@@poke777890 I do! You can order online at SwitchSynthetics.com
They didn't send me a catalogue. The reason I'm watching this video is to find out why the primary oil is better than the 20 50 and also I dont see any straight 50 or 60 weight oil on the site. Please explain.
We do have a straight 60 weight. Product code MCSQT. The primary fluid we offer is designed in our lab by crazy obsessed engineers that also ride. They make the products that they want that are designed for maximum protection and top quality, then I sell it to awesome customers such as yourself.

@@SwitchSynthetics no it worked I just had to do it twice
Can you tell me why AMSoil redesigned their oil filter to a dome end bypass and leaf spring? To me the threaded or upfront bypass with a coil spring is the superior design. Was it costing to much to manufacture? Now they are just like any other average JOE oil filter that I can buy for less money. If you want to charge a premium give me a premium like no other available product and I will pay you for it.
Actually the filters still are superior. Our filtration rate at full flow is 20 microns. The competition is 40 microns. Our filters are still good up to 25,000 miles for some vehicles and 15,000 for everything else. The bypass is only if the filter is full so typically it’s not even needed. Drain back valves are still a specific rubber blend to last longer than everything else on the market.
@@SwitchSynthetics totally depends on what oil filter you are comparing the Amsoil filter to. I have seen plenty of filters that filter 99% at 20 microns with full flow and will filter for a year. For the price Amsoil oil filters need to really be a huge step above the rest.
@@robshaw2990 I personally haven’t seen anything else compare or warranted for 25,000 miles.
@@SwitchSynthetics you are probably correct. I maybe haven't 25 maybe just 20. Not sure why in the world you would run a filter or oil for that matter that long. I havent seen any filter i would trust for 25k.
The current longest OCI vehicle I have is 10k according to the stated OCI in the owners manual. Most specfically state changing your oil every 5k miles or at a minimum every 6 months regardless of the miles. Therefore running longer would void warranties or extended service contracts. So it would make sense for me anyway to save money on oil and oil filters and change my oil according to manufactures OCI to keep those things in place.
So I if the only way to justify or make the cost of Ams oil products come out to realistic prices is to run them for 25k because they are just that good I really can't unless I want to sacrifice warranties or extended service contracts. Which i guess I don't want to sacrifice. I guess I will stick with my Q- state that according to 540 rat blog actually beat Amsoil anyway.
@@robshaw2990 what vehicles? AMSOIL can extend over the owners manual and we have our own warranty. Remember warranty can’t be voided by using another brand, it’s against the law. We also have our OE line that is factory change intervals at a very reasonable price. We also have XL that can go for 12,000 miles or one year. We even offer oil analysis to verify our products are performing and many fleets track the trucks they run.
Blogs aren’t always accurate. Oil samples are the real test. AMSOIL us know to be the best overall. There’s a million things to worry about in a lubricant and we do everything well. Grab a free catalog and see everything we offer at www.SwitchSynthetics.com
I have discontinued use of 20w-50 Amsoil in my Harley M8 because it brakes down by 2200 miles engine gets noisy.
I highly doubt the oil is breaking down in that time frame. Would you be able to do oil analysis on the engine oil to confirm that it isn’t the oil. We have sample kits at SwitchSynthetics.com
@@SwitchSynthetics all ready changed the oil. Put in mobile 1 and engine noise that i was talking about went away. That's my experience.
@@scottchadwick6775 let me know if anything changes with the Mobil AMSOIL has a very high TBN so it doesn’t break down easily. As a side note depending on where you purchased it we have had knock offs on eBay and other online sales platforms. People would buy out products install them and fill the old bottles with junk and sell them on eBay. Make sure you’re buying from an independent dealer or registered retailer.
He's jerking your chain. There's no way Amsoil is breaking down after 2200 miles. I've been using Amsoil in my Harleys for 8 years and never had any break down issues.
I was using Amsoil 20-50 Synthetic in my 2021 Road Glide with 114 M8. I changed the oil and filter every 3,000 miles until one 80 degree morning I did a cold start and the engine sounded like a jackhammer. I switched to HD Syn 3 and the jackhammer noise went away.
Why is amsoil not labeled 100 Synthetic. But rather just Synthetic. Amsoil does offer 100 Synthetic in there signature line but not in the harley platform.
Thanks for the great question. Motorcycle products carry some zinc and phosphorus which is not a synthetic product. Don’t look at formulas though, you’ll never get all the data from everyone and it can change. AMSOIL is a synthetic product and the benefits show in testing and when you throttle through the gears.
Base a product on the results of the protection and performance. No other products have the quality, performance and value as AMSOIL does.

Amsoil will not overcome bad engine design
Nothing will!
@@SwitchSynthetics I was referring to Harley-Davidson engines with bad case bearings
what is the viscosity of the trans & primary fluid?...........you don't make it easy to find.
AMSOIL Synthetic V-Twin Primary Fluid has the physical characteristics of an SAE 50 motor oil. This does not mean it can be used in engines - it is merely a universally understood reference to its viscosity. Do NOT use Synthetic V-Twin Primary Fluid in the engine or transmission. Refer to the data bulletin (G3302) for typical technical properties. AMSOIL Synthetic V-Twin Transmission Fluid has the physical characteristics of an SAE 110 gear lube. Although it has the properties of a gear lube, it is NOT a specification-rated gear lube. It is designed to perform in transmissions used in modern separate-sump V-twins. Do NOT use it in the engine or primary chaincase. Consult the data bulletin (G3301) for additional information. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
Please give me a call.

Amsoil is very overated as an oil.
What do you base that on?
@@blakeberlin6295 In 2003 I switched to amsoil for 1 of my toys.The first ride out, I had twice experienced overheating which I had NEVER experienced before with said vehicle , I had to pull off the trail TWICE to cool down the motor. Same weather conditions , same temperatures , same riding conditions.
After that experience I wouldn't use amsoil in my lawn equipt.
Coincidence , I think not.
I have never before or since had ANY vehicle overheat to the point It was required I pull off trail.
I sure as hell would not use it in my Harley.
@@randyb4105 Thanks. I might think the same in that situation. However, I won't put a lot of weight on one 18 year old anecdote.
@@blakeberlin6295 I don't blame you one bit , but that was my experience with that brand. One issue , and I'm gone as a consumer for ever.
@@blakeberlin6295 My thought exactly!
What about running 0w/50, 5w/50 or 10w/50 in a M8
The 20w50 is recommended but another weight might work as long as it meets the requirements in the spec. The 5w50 & 15w50 are mostly for metric bikes with a slightly different spec.
been using it for years best oil out there my harley loves it no problems!!
