This oil weight meets the requirements of the motorcycle's engine and provides adequate lubrication for all critical components.
* SAE 20W-50 is a multi-viscosity oil that contains viscosity index improvers to maintain a stable viscosity over a wide temperature range. This helps to protect the engine from damage in both hot and cold weather.
* The "20W" part of the oil weight refers to the oil's viscosity at 0°F (-18°C). The higher the number, the thicker the oil will be at this temperature.
* The "50" part of the oil weight refers to the oil's viscosity at 100°C (212°F). The higher the number, the thicker the oil will be at this temperature.
In addition to SAE 20W-50, Harley-Davidson also recommends using the following oils in the Dyna Super Glide motorcycle:
* SAE 10W-40
* SAE 15W-50
* SAE 5W-40
These oils are all acceptable alternatives to SAE 20W-50 and can be used in the motorcycle if the ambient temperature is within the recommended range.
It is important to use the correct oil weight in your motorcycle to ensure proper engine lubrication and performance. Using an oil that is too thin can lead to engine damage, while using an oil that is too thick can cause the engine to run hot and reduce its performance.
If you are not sure what oil weight to use in your motorcycle, consult the owner's manual or your local Harley-Davidson dealer.
