10-40w... should be around 4 - 4.5 quarts. If you're in west central florida I'll do it for you :-)

3 - 3.5 quarts, use 20-50 if you're riding in temps. under 80 degrees and 60wt in temps over 80. I ride California , Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico so when April hits the 20-50 comes out and 60 goes in.

This is for everone that reads this.
Anyone attempting to work on their own bike should own a shop manual. Why trust answers you get from strangers on message boards. With a shop manual, the correct repair procedures and specs are right in front of you. You've invested so much time and money on your precious machine, $40 is well worth the investment.

I have a 2002 FLHT. The shop manual says 3.5 quarts of 20W50. I always end up using 4 qts. before I get the right reading on the dipstick. Don't forget about the primary and the tranny fluids too.
If you're going to work on your own bike, I strongly suggest you spend the $60 for a shop manual. It's worth it.

I would hope your owner's manual would tell what grade & how much oil to use. It will be different if your not changing out your filter.....all though I don't know why people don't change their filter out for a new one. Are you using regular dino oil or synthetic? How many miles on the bike?

Most likely it will take 4 quarts or so and they have Genuine H-D oil if you feel comfortable using that
