How much oil does a 2019 Road King take?

About 3.5 quarts is the most you’ll ever need. Oil reading should be 1/2 way between the add/full marks on the dipstick (hot).

Which is better 5W40 or 10W40?

The 5W40 is thinner than the 10W40 at lower temperatures. But when the temperature is higher, both motor oils similarly perform their intended functions (using the same viscosity). However, the main difference between these two engine types is that the 5W40 can work better than 10W40 in very cold places.

Is 5W-40 synthetic?

Full synthetic 5W-40 motor oil is formulated to flow like 5 Weight oil from a cold start in winter temperatures and like 40 Weight oil once the engine has reached its normal operating temperature.

Which oil is thicker 5w30 or 10w40?

5w30 is less viscous while 10w40 is more viscous. The 5w30 has a viscosity of 30 at high temperature while a 10w40 has a 40 viscosity at high temperatures. When at high temperatures, the 5w30 oil becomes thinner than the 10w40 oil since 30 is lower as compared to 40.

Is synthetic oil bad for high mileage engines?

Myth: Full synthetic oil is not good for high mileage cars or older vehicles. The myth is rooted in the idea that synthetic oil is “slipperier”—lower in viscosity, or not as compatible with seals and will therefore leak or leak more in places conventional oil might not. Again, completely untrue.
