Just picked up 4 Pints of Type E fork Oil from Harley for $34. Is that a good deal, or is there some other brands that are better? Talked with the Service department and they said that the Uly XB12X has sometimes used more than 16oz s, and their shop manual says to initially use 18 ozs and then take some out to bring it down to the proper level. They asked if I wanted a price for them to do it, I said naawwww this is easy enough for me to do it myself. Like I know what I am doing?

As long as it's the right weight that seems like a good deal

The service manual says the recommended fork oil is type E. I think it is equivalent to an 8w, which I think would be perfect for a 47mm over 6" travel fork in Texas. Can't wait to get this done this weekend.
