Valvoline XLD Classic 20W40. 7 Years, 20k (hard) miles, 120bhp, 7500rpm redline, still going strong... still 50 PSI red hot idle, 90psi revving

There will be many opinions and sure, if you want to spend $50+ per oil change and buy something good like Castrol Edge 25W50 then go for it, also a very good oil. I prefer to just change my oil often and for $24 inc filter, it's a no brainer.

Very funny Harley. I change it way too often, 500miles sometimes. Whenever I'm bored. Don't bother checking oil level anymore, just change the oil instead :lol:

Autobarn have it for $20 standard price, $11 on sale! Bargain

I use the same, but Lillee, it's 20W/50 not 40.. :lol:

I change the oil every 1500 miles and the filter every 3000. Oilz is cheap insurance... :P
