Can anybody tell me what oil is safe to use in the S3T tranny/primary? The nearest Harley shop is 50 miles away and I don't want to make a special trip to buy their primary oil. thanks, Bruce

Kind of a religious debate, but truth be told, Mobil 1 V Twin in both tranny and engine would serve you very well.

The Mobil 1 V Twin won't last as long as a true transmission oil, so change it at 3000 to 5000 miles, not the 10000 mile interval for the Harley Formula Plus stuff.

Thanks Reepicheep, i'll keep that in mind. Yesterday I made the 100 mile round trip trek to the Harley shop and got a quart of their primary oil. I changed it last night. Today I was investigating the cause of a low battery charge and discovered that my stator is putting out nothing so the stator will probably have to be changed, requiring the primary oil to have to be drained again.
