What kind of oil do you use on a Harley Davidson Sportster?
Harleys Formula + is one of the best here. Others out there but this one works great and MANy who use a synthetic STILL go with the HD Formula + in the sporty. I have used many different lubes in my sportsters over the years But always seem to come full circle to using Formula+.
Do you have to use H-D oil on a Harley?

What causes heat in a Harley Davidson engine?
Heat is caused by the friction between the moving parts as well as by combustion. The radiator is responsible for cooling the top part of the engine. Cooling the rest of the engine, like the pistons, rod bearings, timing gears, crankshaft, camshaft etc., is up to engine oil. As oil passes over these heated surfaces, it absorbs the heat.
When do I need to change the oil on my Sportster?
