Who manufactures the Harley 20W50 oil?
Just curious where it comes from, if anyone knows.
Thanks!

Whoever has the cheapest contract at the time of renewal, made to their specs of course.

The lowest bidder.

I have been told, by by 4 different manufacturers reps, that they make it.
So, yeah, low bid.

Sunoco was the supplier before Citgo got the contract. I haven't seen a MSDS in a few years so who knows right now.

From what I undersand, Harley Elves make it at the North Pole, also known as Santa's Elves. The reason HD oil is in shorter supply from Oct-Dec is because the elves are focused on toys for good little girls and boys.

Just buy Mobil 1 or Amsoil. That way you know what you're getting.

Once upon a time Kendall made HD oil. Haven't used HD oil for a few years, been sticking with Kendall GT-1, or Valvoline racing oil.
