Sorry, couldn't resist that pun. I hope Frankie Avalon will forgive me;)

I'd just like to hear back on what everyone is using oil wise and why. Strictly out of curiosity.

I use AMSOIL Racing Grease in almost everything.

I need to do the front bearings on the truck I just bought and will also use it on the steering and suspension components.

But it was Frankie Avalon that played the part. Not sure why you were bringing Frankie Valli into the mix. ;)

I use mobil 15/40 super 1300 {it's a diesel oil} It has everything a big v-twin needs that has the transmission part of the engine.Also seems to help the valve train noise when hot going down the hwy.I have also used castrol 20/50 which worked great.Just wanted to try something else.
