In the past 7 years, I don't recall you posting anything that I have not
agreed with/understood the logic thereof and that you, Jimmy and many
others like a heavier single weight in the crank.

But since SE (oil for crank and primary) Syn 3 is only available from
H-D in 20W50 ($9.95) and SE Syn blend is also only available in 20W50
($7.95), what is the advantage of ignoring H-D and going to heavier
(75W90) oil in the primary case for clutch and primary chain
lubrication?

I realize that our trust of H-D for oil recommendations has most
certainly been lessened by the recommendation of a "special" primary oil
several years ago and H-D shops falsely warning about "bearing skate" if
we were to use synthetic oil in the crank..but generally I use
manufacturer recommended lubricates for such things as automatic
transmissions, power steering units, etc.

Note:  This is not a true oil thread, because (a) it is way too early,
(b) Colorado Jeff has not yet sanctioned it and (c) this is primarily
about primary oil!

Anyone notice that H-D 360, although available in 10W40 (not something
I'd recommend), 20W50 (Castrol worked fine in all my Hondas and
Yamahas), SAE 50 and SAE 60, it is not labeled for the primary?
