I remember the days of sending samples in to determine when to change your oil. As a young man I did not understand why. That was in the 80's. Now the ease and reliability comes to your door step after years of testing and verifying performance. I have convert all vehicles from 59 Chevy to 2013 Roadglide without an issue. Thank You.

I first tried Amsoil in my 07 Pathfinder with 200k+ miles and it reduced engine vibration while improving my fuel mileage up to 20% on the highway. Many products claim to improve mileage but Amsoil truly does. I now use Amsoil in both of my autos and both Harley's
Reviewed by Wayne:
I have used Amsoil in my last two bikes. I always found the oil to meet or exceed my expectations consistently. I travel lots, putting on 20 to 25,000 Kms per year which is a few considering our short season. I usually run one trip to the Southern US so the temps can be hot. I never had an issue until last year. In 2017, I traveled through Nevada, parts of California and Northern Arizona in the first two weeks of June. Temps reached 45C, or about 115 F. I had installed a new motor in 2015. I was advised to use a different synthetic oil, which worked fine in cooler temps. On this trip the other oil broke down completely. My oil pressure fell and the motor became noisy. I changed to Amsoil 20-50 and had no more issues. From here on, it will be Amsoil for me. It stands up much better to extreme conditions.

I just traded in my 2000 FLHTCUI with 108, 000 miles showing on the odometer. I only traded it because we are going on a trip into Canada and I have had mainly electrical problems and suspension problems in the past. It is getting too hard to find parts for her so we made the decision to find her a new home. The motor was still rock solid along with the tranny and primary but we were concerned mainly with stator and fuel injection. It had the old Magnetti Marelli injection system that was only used 99 thru 01. Amsoil 20w50 V-Twin oil kept the motor, tranny and primary chugging right along!!!!

Been buying Amsoil products for almost 10 years now. I've used it for three different bikes and have always gotten outstanding life out of their oil. Kawasaki, Yamaha, Harley Davidson. Any time I've taken them to professional mechanics for major work I can't complete on my own, they always compliment the condition of the engine because it's still running smooth.

I have used this in any of my Harleys over the last 8 years. The bike seems to run quieter and generates less heat. Don't use it during the break-in period, or the rings will never seat properly. Use Harley's oil (360) for the first 5000 miles, then switch over.

I've used AMSOIL for seven years now. Sine using it I've never had any issues with any of my Harley's.
On a cross-country trip in 2015, at the end of a
long hot ride in New Mexico, I noticed the temperature on my bike was 120 degrees while others with temperature dip sticks was running at 140 degrees.
Less heat, less wear.

Friends we teach civilian and our Military riders the skills and techniques used by our Nations Top Motor Officers. And I can tell ya it gets plenty hot in the summer heat with surface temperatures on range soaring over a 100. Our air cooled motorcycles, wet clutches and brakes don't stand a chance. That's why we never use anything but Amsoil products everywhere! They're tried, tested and proven. And that's all we recommend them to our students too! If you what to reduce operating temperatures and even thrive in the toughest conditions. You need Amsoil. :-)

I was a little hesitant before I started using Amsoil products on my Harley . Cost was the main reason until I started researching the oils . Once I finally started using the oils on my bike , I realized what I was missing out on !!! The most important benefit was how much cooler the bike was running . Right then I knew there was better lubrication than I had before . My bike starts easier and runs alot smoother . Now I only use Amsoil on all of my other mechanical equipment . ( Vehicles , compressor , Generac , lawnmowers , Lawn equipment ) Only the Best !!!!!!

If you have a Harley this oil is a must. It removes all valve train noise, reduces engine temps and Amsoil's the only oil manufacture to torture test the hell out of your bike to prove it still protects under the harvest conditions. Stop being cheap and spend the dough to make you bike last the longest.
