Dyno Tested

Protection against extreme heat is of the utmost importance in motorcycle applications. The air-cooled V-twin engines used in Harley-Davidson motorcycles can get extremely hot, particularly when idling or traveling at low speeds. If a motorcycle oil cannot withstand hot operating temperatures, its ability to provide adequate engine protection is compromised. AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is formulated to withstand extreme heat conditions beyond the hottest temperatures motorcycles typically experience, providing peace of mind that motorcycles receive outstanding protection and performance no matter how extreme the operating conditions.

Why Is Synthetic Oil Better for Your Harley-Davidson Motorcycle?

Synthetic motor oil offers many advantages for the big bore Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

Aside from being air-cooled, Harley big bores tend to run higher cylinder temperatures because of the long stroke and comparatively smaller bore which increases the swept area in the cylinder and piston speed for any given RPM. Big twins that are operated in the southern areas of the country where outside temperatures are higher or are used in a lot of stop and go city driving will see elevated temperatures, especially in the rear cylinder. All of these factors put increased demands on the engine oil. Compared to conventional petroleum oil, synthetic motorcycle engine oil offers many advantages. High grade synthetic oils manufactured from PAO (Polyalphaolefins) base stocks offer dramatically better wear protection and excel in high and low temperature extremes. In cold temperatures, synthetic motor oils provide near instant oil pressure and easy cranking during starts.

At high operating temperatures conventional petroleum oil can oxidize, causing increased wear with sludge and deposit formation. On the other hand, synthetic oil's uniform molecular structure is stable and resistant to breakdown leading to cooler operation and preventing sludge and carbon deposits. Synthetic motor oils dissipate heat faster often dropping cylinder temperatures twenty to fifty degrees. Synthetic oils help maximize fuel economy and increase horse power by reducing friction and drag considerably compared to conventional oils. Synthetic oils such as AMSOIL high performance synthetic motorcycle oil also offers the benefit of longer change intervals of up to twice the manufacturer’s recommended change interval or one year, whichever comes first. As a result, adding an element of convenience to the purchase of synthetic motorcycle oil.

AMSOIL Motorcycle look-up

"After reading many oil surveys, Amsoil was the most popular among Harley owners old and new. I have used Amsoil in my cars and trucks for a while now, so it was a natural choice. The difference on start up is instantly noticeable with a big reduction in mechanical clatter."
