Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Bel-Ray primary oil different from regular engine oil?

Primary chaincase oil is formulated to protect wet clutches and chains from slip and wear — regular engine oil does not provide the same clutch protection.

How often should I change my primary chaincase oil?

Check your owner's manual for service intervals, typically every 5,000–10,000 miles depending on your bike.

Why is the oil red?

The distinctive red color makes it easy to spot leaks around the primary cover and chaincase during visual inspections.

Can I use this in my air-cooled or liquid-cooled Big Twin?

Yes — this oil is compatible with both air-cooled and liquid-cooled primary chaincases.

EVERYTHING is Better With Bel-Ray!

I been changing my own Harley Fluids almost 30 years! I changed my Harley bikes to Bel-Ray a few years back, I'm now Bel-Ray in my Trans, Primary and engine oil from my Classic EVO to my modern M8 . <br />The Bel-Ray products improved everything from offering the lowest top end valve noise using the Motor Oil to less 1st gear clunk and smooth like BUTTER shifting to NOW SUPER EASY finding Neutral. Everything is better with Bel-Ray my now #1 Fluids of choice from my Classic to modern Harley!

Excellent fluids

I love these Belray fluids for the primary specific oil and the transmission specific oil engine oil run whatever you want but for the primary and transmission fluid made by Belray I feel it is very good fluid as the bike shifts smoother doesn't clunk near as hard when you drop it in first gear. I've been running this stuff for years and years and I've never had any primary or transmission issues
