andy oliver Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 Before my mate does it, would anyone happen to know if it's OK to put Mobil 1 in a 1997 1350cc Harley bike?.I can't see why not myself but the thing is so agricultural I wondered if synthetic might be a bit exotic.Also what would be the best viscosity,and how do you drain the old oil what with it being sort of dry sumped?.Any advice very much appreciated.

Mark Piper Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 How do you drain the oil in a Harley?...doesn't that happen naturally over a period of time....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Drain the oil into a container. Put the Harley in a skip. Put the oil on the shelf for future use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Molloy Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 As an ex-Harley owner (sob, sniff) I have to add my 5 cents worth. The recommended oil is H-D 20W-50. The factory issue dire warnings about using anything else. The antediluvian air-cooled engine would appear to have different requirements to a modern water cooled auto engine. Be careful.
