Wear Testing, Harley-Davidson's Own "Genuine" Oil Produces the Highest
Wear Scar vs. Other Leading Motorcycle Oil's!
Harley-Davidson Maintains That You Use Their "Genuine"
Oil, yet Harley Davidson Doesn't Even Make Their Own Oil. Harley-Davidson
oil is manufactured by Sunoco.
Learn The Facts About Harley-Davidson Oil in this
Eye-Opening Article written by A.J. Amatuzio, President and CEO
of AMSOIL INC.
"A situation my daughter, Lyn, told me about recently got me to
thinking about how good it is to be able to blend our own oils and
have complete control over our own product quality.
Lyn loves to ride motorcycles. She recently purchased a Harley-Davidson
bike and took it to the local Harley shop to have our new AMSOIL
Motorcycle Oil installed. The mechanic took issue with her not using
the oil Harley-Davidson sells, saying, "I'll use AMSOIL motor oil
when AMSOIL starts making motorcycles!"
How would you answer a challenge like that? I was pleased to hear
Lyn's response. She said, " I'll start using Harley-Davidson motor
oil when Harley starts making oil!"
Perfect! The fact is that Harley-Davidson,
like so many other "brands" of oil, contract with one or more oil
companies to make their lubricants. Often, the decision as to who
actually makes a private labeled product is based on low bid, and
like almost everything manufactured by a low bidder, short cuts
are taken in order to meet the low price.
I understand that Harley-Davidson has contracted with one company
for a number of years to make their oil. That's good, but it still
doesn't change the fact that they make motorcycles, not oil. Now
consider all the private label oils out there. Every manufacturer
that makes equipment with an engine has it's own name on an oil
bottle. That includes all the major auto manufacturers, the makers
of motorcycles, ATV's, snowmobiles, farm equipment, you name it,
they all have oils. But none of these equipment manufacturers actually
make an oil. They sell oil to make more money, and then they
often price these oils well above the going rate for competitive
lubricants because, like Harley-Davidson, they
can specify or create the impression that only their oil be used
in their equipment.
Now there's nothing wrong in having a goal to make money, but let's
get real here. Why would anyone want to use a product manufactured
down to a price rather than up to high quality standards? We
have tested a number of these private label motor oils and two-cycle
oils and we found that many are mediocre quality products. None
of them even comes close to performing as well as AMSOIL lubricants,
and that's a fact!
I'm not taking shots at Harley-Davidson. They make good motorcycles
(although I liked my Goldwing better). And I understand their concern
that normal automotive oils not meeting API C specs shouldn't be
used in their bikes. But when they imply that AMSOIL Motorcycle
Oil is not as good as their brand or I hear that one of their dealers
recommended not using AMSOIL, I get a little hostile. Those kinds
of statements are the very reason we introduced our motorcycle oils
in the first place. And when we say use our 20W-50 motorcycle oil
in V-Twin motorcycle engines, that definitely includes Harley-Davidson
motorcycles.
Our Motorcycle Products Brochure, G-391, includes wear comparisons
of AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils vs. other oils, including H-D "Genuine".
Both our oils demonstrate superior wear protection over all other
tested brands. Interestingly enough, the highest wear scar in this
test turned out to be Harley-Davidson's own "Genuine" oil!
There is a good reason why AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils protect so well
against wear. They are formulated with significantly higher levels
of zinc and phosphorus, which when included in proper formulation
with other high quality additives, provide superior wear protection
at the high operating temperatures typical of motorcycles. In addition,
synthetic oils inherently reduce sump temperatures so the engines
actually run cooler.
The fact is, Harley would do well to have AMSOIL make their oils
for them. Then they could be assured that their oil was indeed a
superior product. As it is, there may be absolutely nothing wrong
with their oil for use in average service, but I guarantee you as
the oil temperature gets hotter, like it does when sitting in traffic
on asphalt on a hot summer day, the Harley-Davidson with AMSOIL
in the crankcase is going to be far better protected and run far
cooler than the bike with H-D "Genuine" oil in it. There's just
no two ways about it!
So, my daughter Lyn will be going back to this mechanic armed with
the facts about AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils and a few facts about H-D
oil. Nobody's going to tell her that her dad's oils are not the
very best. She knows better, and she's on a mission to prove her
point. Who knows? Knowing Lyn, she might sign up another AMSOIL
Dealer in the process."
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 and 20W-50 motorcycle oils
give motorcyclists what they need: Superior wear protection for
high- stress motorcycle engines and transmissions that stay clean
and deposit-free.
One of the most common questions we are asked is what is the
recommended transmission lube for Harley-Davidson, both big twins
and sportsters?
The answer is for 883cc and 1200cc sportster motorcycles, the AMSOIL
Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil is recommended for both the engine
and transmission. On 1340cc and 1450cc models, the 20W-50 Motorcycle
Oil is recommended for the engine crankcase, Series 2000 75W-90
Gear Lube for the transmission and the 10W-40 Motorcycle Oil for
the chaincase.
AMSOIL submitted
five popular motorcycle oils to spectrographic analysis and Four-Ball
Wear (ASTM D4172) testing and compared the results to those of AMSOIL
Synthetic 20W-50 and Synthetic 10W-40 Motorcycle Oils.
None of the popular motorcycle oils compared favorably to the AMSOIL
products in wear additive content or wear protection (see Spectrographic
Analysis chart and Wear Protection graph).
Test Results: HD Syn3 vs AMSOIL V-Twin Motorcycle
Oil
As seen
in the chart below, AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils contain significantly
higher levels of zinc and phosphorus than the competing oils, and
while simply adding more zinc and phosphorus doesn’t insure good
performance, AMSOIL has formulated motorcycle oils with the best
additives in the optimal quantities to provide superior wear protection.
What about
oil temperature and wear? A Four-Ball Wear Test was conducted at
302°F/150°C, a higher temperature that would typically be associated
with motorcycle oil operating temperatures in extreme high performance
situations. AMSOIL products protect better in higher temperatures
than any of the tested motorcycle oils do, leaving a wear scar up
to 37 percent smaller.
Some motorcycle
transmissions and engines share a common oil sump, so the engine
oil must also provide wear protection to the transmission gears,
which, according to Motorcycle Consumer News (Aug. 1998) are subject
to high gear surface pressures and gear rotation speeds. The superior
performance of the AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils in the Four-Ball Wear
Test applies here too.
Motorcyclists will find no better oils than
AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils.
Here's what a few of our satisfied customers have to say about
AMSOIL:
Dear Dave.....How's it going? Fine I hope. I just wanted to bring
you up to date. I received my AMSOIL 20W-50 Motorcycle oil today
via UPS. I wasted no time, and changed my H-D 20W-50 oil to your
100% synthetic. I can already tell a definite change in how my transmission
shift's smoother! My engine sound's quieter, and I notice the throttle
response is better, and more responsive. Although my H-D 2002 V-Rod
only has 1976 mile's, and is still very new, I feel more confident
for the future life of my fine machine knowing it now has adequate
protection in the engine, transmission, and final drive. The wet
clutch seem's to be easier to operate as well. I showed my Harley
pal's your wear test's specification's, and how poor a quality H-D
20W-50 really is, and some of them are now interested in switching
their motorcycles to AMSOIL as well! One of my Harley pal's is a
Master Diesel Mechanic, and he quit using H-D oil year's ago. He
knows there are many better quality regular petroleum oil's out
there than the way over-rated H-D brand! I will happily promote
your product to other enthusiast's down the line. Thank's Again......Charles
