I've searched and can't find an official statement from Harley, or a Service bulletin stating that. I've heard several people say that Harley doesn't recommend their syn III for transmissions. Sorta like they offer HD 360 motor oil and Syn III as an alternative oil. I know Harley has sold their "Formula" oil for a while, and offered Syn III as a alternative trans oil. I didn't take anything you said as being disrespectful, no need to apologize. It's been 30000 miles now with shockproof heavy and I feel it's my duty as a harley owner to inform other harley owners that there is a better way,and a better product.Īnd harley now says to use formula+ and not syn 3 in the tranny,regardless of what the bottle says.Īnd harley now says to use formula+ and not syn 3 in the tranny,regardless of what the bottle says. So I suffered for 10000 miles with syn 3. It was like the tranny finally operated like it should have. When I significantly increased the power output these "qualities" became unbearable so on a whim I tried redline shockproof heavy.Īlmost immediately the tranny didn't clunk anymore,it shifted smoothly. ![]() So I rode with a clunky tranny,a hammer going into first,you know the drill. I've used syn 3 thinking oh it's harley so it must be Gods gift to my bike. But, if it could be had for the price I pay for gear oil, I'd use it., I don't use it because I feel it's overpriced. Why do you say its junk? They must have sold several boatloads of it over the years, and if it was causing any problems I'm sure they would have dropped it from their product line. I use the V-twin oil, their trans and primary fluids and they simply work better than the harley products. I have had 4 harleys, got 2 now and I run Redline products in them all. The Syn3 didn't do well in transmissions and quite frankly all their oils are overpriced low performers but hey - it says harley davidson so it must be good lol. Harley long since retracted their "syn3 in all 3 holes". Some are designed to catch fish, some to catch fishermen., I don't use designer brand name oils with catchy names like "shock proof" or "gear glide". What makes the biggest difference in shifting is running a 10/40 or a 15/40 wt oil in the primary, It has enough grab so it won't slip, but not so much to cause that famous "Clunk" when going into first gear.Too heavy a primary oil even 20/50 wt can cause drag on the clutch plates and makes shifting feel like your not using the clutch when shifting.Or make shifting into neutral hard. Unless you have bent shift forks due to slamming it in gear like your trying to kill it, the trans will pretty much just click into gear. Pretty much any regular gear oil will have a Gl-5 rating which will also work without issue. It has a GL-1 rating which is all that trans needs.I use auto part store oils. The even say to use their Syn III in the trans. Harley recommends their oils for the trans and they work. As long as you have some type of oil in the trans, you shouldn't either. After having 7 Harleys I can honestly say I've never had a transmission failure, or Hard shifting because of the trans,Or even a leak. ![]()
