Amsoil SAE60 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil

Meisen · Apr 22, 2025

As topic says, without trying to open a can of worms……..anyone tried this?
I «Feel» the bike is running more hot after the last tune at the dyno, we took down the ingnition a bit but was the same.
But did not see/feel any differance in the oil temp ore engine sound with either of the other oils…….First I had Amsoil 20w-50 V-Twin fully synthetic, then Mobil1 15w-50 Racing 4t and now Bell Ray 20w-50 SeminSynthetic…….since the bike has ran in the dyno and some trips now I was wondering of making an oil change again.

I also bought this «Rylan» oil filter, this Wix XL filter and thinkinh about changing out the Racing filter from K&P that I am running now and try this SAE60 from Amsoil.

But, if I remember correct…….the K&P should give you better flow when oil is warm/hot?
Never had any issues with the filter before, neither on my other bikes but doesnt hurt to try this Wix filter I guess.

This seems like a fantastic deal on Amazon if your bike needs a 10W-60:

$54.65

IIRC you went with the 505 because the 504 HPT weren’t available, right @Meisen ? Those are what historically have been suggested for the BB.

Does not longer the straight 60w oil but it was no problem at all during the summer here in Norway.
Even in teh cold startups there was no problem at all, but seems for now I am gonna stick with the 15w-60 oil, less razzling sounds and teh engine sounds just great

I remember in the instructions from Lloydz also that it says that always let the bike run on idle for a little while before revving ore riding in general

A friend came over this weekend with her Jackpot. Brought her own Vic oil change kit. She had been asking me for well over a year to change her oil. She hasn’t ridden it much in that time but rode it an hour from her house my house. I was in the garage when she pulled up and the clatter from that bike had me a bit worried. I started draining process by carefully removing the buggered up drain plug. Then drained the oil into my 7qt shallow pan that fits perfectly under a Vic. While that was draining we had nice conversation. While I was prep I g my filter wrench for the oil filter removal. She looked at me and said “ Hey ! The oil is overflowing !! “
What could I do. It’s hot oil and luckily my floor had a high gloss finish so there would be no staining.
So wow !!! Over 7 qts of lord knows what oil was in this bike. A K&N filter and a messed up drain plug led me to believe someone didn’t know what they were doing and filled this bike up on the side stand. Still how can you get 7 qts of oil in this 100 Ci motor ?
Well the new Vic oil went in all along me joking with her and saying your 3 quarts short …. Wrong kit ! Lol.
Poor thing …. She didn’t have a clue and I didn’t beat up the obvious to her as I didn’t want her to worry. She had a 1 hr ride home and she was to tell me how the bike performed. She got home safely and said never has her motor felt so smooth and so much more quiet ! Go figure ???
