Built for V-Twin Riding Reality
Superior Heat Resistance
V-twin engines — especially air-cooled Harley-Davidson models — run hot, particularly in stop-and-go traffic and during hot-weather riding. AMSOIL V-Twin Motorcycle Oil is thermally stable and resists viscosity breakdown, maintaining a strong oil film when cylinder-head and engine-oil temperatures climb. Independent testing shows AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil resisted viscosity breakdown 6X better than Harley-Davidson SYN3.
Exceptional Wear Protection
V-twin engines place heavy loads on bearings, cams, lifters and valvetrain components. AMSOIL V-Twin Motorcycle Oil delivers robust anti-wear additive performance to protect high-stress parts throughout the oil change interval.
Smooth, Confident Shifts
Many V-twin motorcycles share the engine oil with the transmission and primary chaincase. AMSOIL V-Twin Motorcycle Oil meets JASO MA/MA2 and is engineered to maintain film strength under transmission loads while preserving wet-clutch feel. It contains no friction modifiers, preventing clutch slippage and glazing.
Controls Deposits and Rust
Between rides, V-twin engines can sit idle for days or weeks. AMSOIL V-Twin Motorcycle Oil is formulated with strong detergency and corrosion inhibitors to help keep internals clean during use and protected during storage.
Multi-Use Formulation
AMSOIL V-Twin Motorcycle Oil is engineered to be used in the:
- Engine — the primary application, with protection optimized for high temperatures and heavy loads
- Transmission — when your manufacturer recommends using engine oil in the transmission
- Primary chaincase — when your manufacturer recommends using engine oil in the primary, and no dedicated V-Twin Primary Fluid is specified
For applications that require a dedicated transmission or primary fluid, AMSOIL also offers Synthetic V-Twin Primary Fluid and Synthetic V-Twin Transmission Fluid.
Choose the Right Viscosity
20W-50 (MCV) — Most Harley-Davidson Applications
The most common V-twin viscosity. Designed for the majority of Harley-Davidson air- and oil-cooled engines, transmissions and primary chaincases.
15W-60 (MSV) — Heat-Heavy & Heavy-Load
A slightly heavier grade suited to air-cooled engines ridden in very hot climates or under heavy loads, where additional film strength at high operating temperatures is desirable.
20W-40 (MVI) — Select V-Twin Applications
For V-twin engines specifying a lighter 20W-40 viscosity.
SAE 60 (MCS) — High-Temperature & Severe-Duty
A straight-grade SAE 60 for select air-cooled V-twin engines that specify SAE 60 or ride in extreme heat and load conditions.
Always follow your motorcycle manufacturer’s viscosity specification. Use the AMSOIL Product Guide to confirm the correct viscosity for your specific motorcycle.
Extended Service Life
AMSOIL V-Twin Motorcycle Oil provides reserve protection that allows you to extend drain intervals when conditions permit:
With AMSOIL Oil Filter
- Up to 2X the motorcycle manufacturer-recommended change interval
- Maximum: miles or one year, whichever comes first
With Other Brand Filters

Frequently Asked Questions
Can AMSOIL V-Twin Motorcycle Oil be used in the engine, transmission and primary chaincase?
Yes. AMSOIL Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil is engineered as a multi-use lubricant suitable for the engine, transmission and primary chaincase of most Harley-Davidson and other V-twin motorcycles. Always consult your owner's manual for the specific viscosity your motorcycle requires.
Which viscosity is right for my Harley-Davidson?
Most Harley-Davidson motorcycles call for 20W-50 (MCV). Air-cooled engines operated in very hot climates or under heavy loads may benefit from 15W-60 (MSV) or SAE 60 (MCS). Use the AMSOIL Product Guide to confirm the correct viscosity for your specific model and year.
Is AMSOIL V-Twin Motorcycle Oil compatible with wet clutches?
Yes. AMSOIL V-Twin Motorcycle Oil is formulated to meet JASO MA/MA2 specifications, ensuring proper wet-clutch engagement without slippage. It contains no friction modifiers that would cause clutch glazing or slip.
