Hello, I am working on a 2001 Dyna Wide Glyde. I believe it holds 3Qts. What oil do you recommend. I did purchase a Valvoline 20w50. I am wishing to get it sold this fall if I can.

LOL I don't care who you are, now that's funny.
I have been gone awhile and I come back to read my question in the humor section. I do not understand this, as I was asking a legitament question. People ask if an oil or filter a Walmart is okay or something. I was asking what oil and filter would minimally meet the needs of my 01' Dyna Wide Glyde. I have not been able to ride it for 7 yrs. I was wanting to change oil and some other recommended things and get it running again. I didn't feel to put Amsoil or Harley oil in it at this time. So I was asking for suggestions. I hope this treatment was not intentional. Again thanks for your understanding.
i'm sure no offense was meant. can't speak for dwc28, but i took his comments to mean it was funny that you posted it in the humor section instead of in the motorcycles and motorcycle lubrication section. that was my take and in light of that it was humorous.
Thanks, I understand. I don't know why it ended in the humor section. I thought it would get moved or something. Guess I could re-post.
it happens, more often to me! LOL
you will get answers here but maybe a few more if you ask a moderator to move it to the motorcycle lubrication section..

The Valvoline 20/50 is perfect for your bike, if it was me trying to sell the bike I would take the effort to put on an OEM Harley filter.
Why you may ask?
It will show the people looking at the bike that is was well cared for with quality parts for someone who may take a good look at the engine. (like people in forums here*L*)

If you do not have an oil cooler, get one.
You are mistaken. There is no japanese oil standard that any Harley oil has to meet or excede.,,,
