If it is necessary to add oil and Harley Davidson oil is not available, use an oil certified for diesel
engines. Acceptable diesel engine oil designations include: SH, CH 4, CI 4 and CJ 4.
The preferred viscosities for the diesel engine oils in descending order are: 20W50, 15W40 and
10W40.
At the first opportunity, see an authorized dealer to change back to 100 percent Harley Davidson
oil.

Checking Oil Level
NOTE:
This engine has a wet sump, an integral transmission, gear driven primary drive and wet clutch.
This design allows engine oil in the sump to be used to lubricate the engine, transmission and
primary drive. The clutch and primary drive are housed on the right side of the engine.
Oil level cannot be accurately measured on a cold engine.
For pre ride inspection with the motorcycle upright (not
leaning on jiffy stand) on level ground, the oil should
register approximately at the midpoint of the cross hatch
area on the dipstick when the engine is cold. Do not add
oil to bring the level to the full mark on a cold engine.
(00186b)
Check engine oil level at each complete fuel refill. See Dipstick Location: VRSCF Model
(VRSCF) and Dipstick Location: VRSCDX/VRSCDX ANV (other models). On VRSCF model,
the dipstick is located on the right side in the clutch cover. On other models, the dipstick is located
on left side at front of engine.
