Q. What AMSOIL products should I
use for my Harley Davidson motorcycle?
Crankcase requiring 20W50 lubricant; Harley Davidson
part numbers 99903-93 and 99896-88, use the AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 20W-50
Motorcycle Engine Oil, product code AMV.
Transmission requiring 75W90 lubricant; Harley Davidson part numbers 99892-84 and
98853-96, use the AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 75W90 (AGR/TGR) Gear Lube, product code
TGR.
Chain Case Oil (primary) lubricants requiring 10W40; Harley Davidson part number
99887-84, uses the AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W40 Motorcycle Engine Oil, product
code AMF.
The exception is the Sportster. It has two oil reservoirs instead of three and uses the
same oil in both reservoirs. Use AMSOIL 20W50 Synthetic Engine Lubricant in both
reservoirs, product code AMV
Note: The AMSOIL 20w50 (AMV) and 10W40 (AMF) Motorcycle Engine Oils do not contain
friction modifiers and meet Harley Davidson specification for the wet clutch system.
Harley-Davidson forks that recommend type "E" or "B" fork oils, use
the AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension Fluid, product code STM
Harley Davidson air filter part numbers, 2900252, 29002-52A, 29002-57, 29002-58, and
29036-56 uses the AMSOIL, product code TS-77
New Top-of-the-Line SMF Motorcycle Oil
Filters
Oil is the life
blood of your motorcycle engine. Your oil filtration system keeps that life blood flowing
and your ride on the road.
For nearly 30 years, AMSOIL INC. has offered
state-of-the-art products Dealers can sell with pride. In that time, the company’s
reputation has grown, along with its product line.
Now, AMSOIL has developed a full line of oil filters
specifically designed for motorcycles and ATVs.
The SuperDuty Motorcycle Oil Filters (SMF) reflect the
newest technological advances in the quest to meet the unique demands of today’s
high-stress motorcycle engines.
The three main functions of any oil filter are flow,
life and efficiency.
- Flow is the filter’s ability to let the right volume
of oil reach its intended parts, with a minimum degree of restriction.
- Life is the filter’s capacity to remain in service
for a predicted amount of time.
- Efficiency is the filter’s ability to remove
contaminants that cause engine wear.
While each of those functions is vital individually,
there’s more to it.
“Remember, it’s more than just flow. It’s
more than just efficiency. It’s more than just life,” said Dave Anderson, AMSOIL
Technical Sales Director. “They all have to perform in unison. A filter is only as
good as its weakest link.”
Typically, oil filters are comprised of cellulose, or
paper, synthetic fibers, glass fibers, or a combination of media.
“All of these fibers have a different set of
characteristics to them,” Anderson said.
Each provides different levels of filtration of the damaging dirt and
dust particles that shorten the life of a motorcycle engine.
- Traps Dirt Throughout Media Thickness
- Up to 100% More Capacity
- Up to 20% More Efficiency
- Built for Rugged Performance
- Heavy-duty Steel Case Withstands Extreme
Conditions
- Assures Oil Flow With Relief Valve
- Prevents Oil Drainage During Engine Shutdown
Flow is gained through a media that is open and free,
while efficiency is gained through media that is closed and difficult to penetrate. The
flow versus efficiency ” compromise within the filtration system is the greatest
demand on an oil filter’s performance.
“Through our testing, we have found the best for
motorcycles, and automobiles, is a blend of the three media – synthetic, cellulose
and glass,” Anderson said.. “That gives the best overall performance. You have
to look at overall performance. How they do all the tasks that you want them to do. A
prudent consumer must consider the total package.”
AMSOIL SuperDuty Motorcycle Oil Filters provide the
greatest possible balance of that “total package” to provide the ultimate in
overall filtration performance.
The filters are available in black finish, with
several models also available in chrome. The chrome models have a C designation.
They have a heavy-duty case of drawn steel. The case is
double-crimped at the base with rolled-under seaming to withstand extreme pressure surges
and road shocks.
AMSOIL SMF are available in spin-on and cartridge types.
The new G-194 Automotive Filter and Cross- Reference
Guide lists the correct filter for each motor- cycle and ATV. A separate Motorcycle and
ATV Filter Cross Reference Guide, G-1768, at $1.00 U.S., also is newly available for your
convenience.
These quality full-flow filters are designed to allow
extended filter change intervals.
