What weight of oil is this? Will this work in my 2012 Harley limited?

I believe it is 75W90 gear oil. I use it in my 2012 FXDC, and it is fantastic stuff. Shifts smoother and quieter. I did a lot of research on fluids before settling on this, and have since switched to redline fluids in all 3 holes...very high quality fluids. Hope this helps.

I put this Redline product in my 2012 Street Glide during it's first fluid change (1000 miles). I noticed several positive changes, most notably, neutral was much easier to find, the shift from neutral to 1st gear was definitely quieter and the tranny noise while riding was reduced quite a bit. At 5000 miles I tried synthetic Mobil 1 15W-50 and it has worked out to be a pretty good tranny fluid but I prefer Redlines "shockproof" tranny fluid. It reminds me of Pepto Bismol, same color and consistency. I will be going back to Redline at my next fluid change.

I too believe this lubricant was designed with Harley in mind. I use it in my 2006 Softail, I transition with 9800 miles / and I can see a major difference... Quieter, much smoother... And no clank! And actually better gas mileage. The other fluid I transition too is the "Mobil 1" synthetic 2 cycle V -twin motor oil ... This stuff is Great too !! / motor runs 15-20 degrees cooler + my gas is lasting longerIt's a bit pricey, but well worth it. I hope this response helps you out. Safe travels.

I don't recall the weight of this oil. I use this oil in my 2011 Limited and my 2005 Ultra with no problems. It was highly recommended to me by several Harley mechanics that I trust.It should work fine in you 2012 Limited. If you don't like it you can always try something else.

They don't specify a weight on the bottle. It's a motorcycle transmission only fluid. If it helps, it is a red colored fluid that reminded me of a strawberry slurpee. I'd use it as my first choice in any motorcycle that has a specific place for transmission lubricant. Honestly, I think it was developed with Harley Davidson in mind - any year.

Per the previous poster, I believe it is 75w90. My understanding is that it was really developed for HD transmissions. I run it in my 2010 Fat Bob.

I have had it in a 2010 Yamaha 650 for some time now. I have had zero problems and it should fine for your application. That said, the dealer recommended I should break the engine in with conventional motor oil.

Any good quality 2-stroke pre-mix oil is fine to use. You don't have to pay extra for the Husqvarna label on the oil, they don't make it anyway. It's re-badged

30 weight only!! Do not use 5 -40 weight. It must be 30 weight oil as used in lawn mowers. Make sure you changed it after the first 3 hours of break in. It gets very dirty due to new piston wear from the break in period.

I get this for my Nordic track treadmill that I have had for years. It calls for a 3-in-1 oil. Sorry

You should be using motorcycle specific motor oil, and Mobil and Castrol, Kendall etc. provide specific types for specific models . As you have identified most motorcycles have combined engine and transmission plus a wet clutch, so you should not use auto oils. Try Mobil motorcycle oils and you can choose your weight and whether you want for a V twin or high performance bike etc.

The kit improved my bikes suspension (HD street glide) 100 percent. Use the right amt. of spacers for your weight (200lbs. for me- so 2 spacers) and the right weight and amt. 5 oz per ea. of fork oil (as instructed) just for lubrication, and you should be fine. Lowered 1-1/4 inch and made an unbelievable improvement in handling as well. no stiffness at all, and still controls a hard front braking nose dive. Hope this helps. I think its just that some people don't do the research for their particular ride, etc.

The primary gear box , has a chain and the clutch, in a Harley anyway, all you really need to lubricate is the chain , the other effect is the cooling effect it has on the clutch. Check to see if it has friction modifiers, if so don't use it because your clutch plates may slip. if not feel free to use it in the trans and primary, it is good oil.

No, theyre not the same. Trans oil w/ShockProof is only for tranny application. For primary , use Primary oil, or else any synthetic 20-50 for motorcycle application.

The oil capacity is 26-28 oz. They recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. Please see owner's manual for more detailed information. The weight of oil will depend on the temperature the engine will be operating in. In most cases 10W30 weight oil is used.

Sorry, but my dog passed away and i do not have the oil any longer. From what i remember I believe it was pure oil. Regards

not real sure, the oil that comes with it is not a real heavy weight oil. my suggestion is to go to a local auto parts or one of the tractor supply stores. if you have any of the original oil they should be able to help with a substitute.

No its specific to Harley 96cu in motor. Should find similar for your model

Sorry, but I bought it to fit an older Honda GL-1100I. If in doubt about oil that is appropriate for your machine......I would follow the manufacturer's recommendations.....after all, they engineered and built it. Don't experiment!

I Run the same plugs in my 2012 FXDWG 103 Moter. Use anti seize on plug threads & torque to fact.Specs On my bike it is 10-18 footlbs. Note: check to be sure plug length & threads match. Push come to ....., Talk to a HD tech in person if possible. Hope this helped you. Shaken Jake

They should definitely "fit" the bike. Thats not the question to ask, only question is will your bike neet to be rejetted or will the computer automatically compensate for difference in back pressure. Does your bike have a catlytic converter? I believe that is a big factor in needing to do more than install or not. Harley Dealer can definitely answer this question. My 2011 Ultra Limited has catalytic converter, Needed to do nothing but mount to bike.

I use Rotella 40 weight oil found at most Napa stores it's used for Diesel engines mostly also. It recommends that kind of oil in the literature the hammer came with.
