Wonder why the dealer gave you engine oil (even though it would work) instead of the Formula+ (Harley recommended) they sell that is made for that very purpose?

thats what had me concerned . but thanks ffor the replies though . now just finding time to do it

If you're concerned, save the engine oil for the engine and go buy the Formula+ for the primary/tranny.

You'll need engine oil for the future change. I'd put in whatever makes you feel comfortable.

There are other brands of oil for the primary/tranny on the Sportster.
Bel-Ray, Spectro, etc., etc......
