Just read the updated alt. parts list. Thanks for that.
Subject, engine oil.
Which one?
After searching online for V-Twin motorcycle oil, a whole world of results present themselves.
These are all V-Twin spec oils;
Putoline,
Royal purple,
Mobil 1,
Castrol power 1,
Motul 7100,
Bel-ray,
Klotz(really),
Redline 42504,
Tribodyn,
Can-am 779462,
Amsoil,
Silkoline,
Maxima Maxum 4 semi-synthetic engine oil,
PennGrade 1® V-Twin.
The reason i ask is that my cars final destination is Malaysia, the ave. day time temp is 90deg.
Not all oils are available here.
There is one that i have never heard of and that is Rock oil, made in the UK since 1928.
So the question is, which one?

I wouldn't sweat this one. Go with any decent brand 20-50w oil specified for air cooled motorcycle engines. One of them should be available most anywhere.

I would second that sentiment. Mobile 1 might be the least costly.
I currently use S&S oil but Royal Purple is usually on the shelf locally where Mobile 1 tends to sell out fast.

You can add Valvoline VR1 Racing to the list which is a Dino car oil but is popular with the air cooled v twin gang.
If it’s hot go with a synthetic as it’s supposed to stay in grade better at high temps.

Agreed. My first post on this thread was an attempt to head it off at the pass. Not sure I succeeded.
