Harley-Davidson* makes great bikes. What about their motorcycle oil? Many bikers want to know how AMSOIL products compare to the competition, particularly against Harley-Davidson oil. Q.

The ability of a motor oil to retain it’s viscosity is vital to providing excellent engine protection. While viscosity is defined as “resistance to flow,” one can think of it as the oil’s thickness. A motor oil has to provide […]
