Oil recommendation?

Postby ClintsMotorcycles » Tue Feb 02, 2021 12:39 pm

Hello,

This question has probably been asked a gazillion times, but I could not find it on the forum.

I have a 1956 KHK which I just bought and took delivery of. I want to change all the oil fluids in it. I have the owner's manual and it says to use Harley "Regular Heavy" oil for the temperature that I normally ride in. I would prefer a more modern, preferably synthetic oil if that would be better. I run Rotella T 100% synthetic in my other vintage Harley and Indian bikes and in my 1981 Honda CBX1000 without issue, but I admit that I do not run any of my bikes hard. Just a Saturday morning run every once in a while to take the little woman out for breakfast and a not so often run to the monthly local swap meet.

Anyone have any suggestions as to the very best oil I should use?

Thanks

Also been using both Rotellas in some of my vehicles. Lucas in all else including 56 KHK and 39 Nimbus.
Lucas has very high zinc levels listed in their web. Mobil only other I could find with listing of zinc level.
