FLUID REQUIREMENTS

GENERAL
United States System
Unless otherwise specified, all fluid volume measurements
in this Service Manual are expressed in United States
(U.S.) units-of-measure. See below:
●
Pint (U.S.) = 16 fluid ounces (U.S.)
●
Quart (U.S.) = 2 pints (U.S.) = 32 fl. oz. (U.S.)
●
Gallon (U.S.) = 4 quarts (U.S.) =128 fl. oz. (U.S.)
British Imperial System
Fluid volume measurements in this Service Manual do not
include the British Imperial (Imp.) system equivalents. The fol-
lowing conversions exist in the British Imperial system:
●
Pint (Imp.) = 20 fluid ounces (Imp.)
●
Quart (Imp.) = 2 pints (Imp.)
●
Gallon (Imp.) = 4 quarts (Imp.)
Although the same unit-of-measure terminology as the U.S.
system is used in the British Imperial (Imp.) system, the
actual volume of each British Imperial unit-of-measure differs
from its U.S. counterpart. The U.S. fluid ounce is larger than
the British Imperial fluid ounce. However, the U.S. pint, quart
and gallon are smaller than the British Imperial pint, quart
and gallon, respectively. Should you need to convert from
U.S. units to British Imperial units (or vice versa), refer to the
following:
●
Fluid ounces (U.S.) x 1.042 = fluid ounces (Imp.)
●
Pints (U.S.) x 0.833 = pints (Imp.)
●
Quarts (U.S.) x 0.833 = quarts (Imp.)
●
Gallons (U.S.) x 0.833 = gallons (Imp.)
●
Fluid ounces (Imp.) x 0.960 = fluid ounces (U.S.)
●
Pints (Imp.) x 1.201 = pints (U.S.)
●
Quarts (Imp.) x 1.201 = quarts (U.S.)
●
Gallons (Imp.) x 1.201 = gallons (U.S.)
Metric System
Fluid volume measurements in this Service Manual include
the metric system equivalents. In the metric system, 1 liter (L)
= 1,000 milliliters (mL). Should you need to convert from U.S.
units-of-measure to metric units-of-measure (or vice versa),
refer to the following:
●
Fluid ounces (U.S.) x 29.574 = milliliters
●
Pints (U.S.) x 0.473 = liters
●
Quarts (U.S.) x 0.946 = liters
●
Gallons (U.S.) x 3.785 = liters
●
Milliliters x 0.0338 = fluid ounces (U.S.)
●
Liters x 2.114 = pints (U.S.)
●
Liters x 1.057 = quarts (U.S.)
●
Liters x 0.264 = gallons (U.S.)

BRAKE FLUID
11 1
WARNING
D.O.T. 4 brake fluid can cause irritation of eyes and skin,
and may be harmful if swallowed. If large amount of fluid
is swallowed, induce vomiting by administering two
tablespoons of salt in a glass of warm water. Call a doc-
tor. In case of contact with skin or eyes, flush with plenty
of water. Get medical attention for eyes. KEEP BRAKE
FLUID OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Failure to
comply could result in death or serious injury.
Use only D.O.T. 4 BRAKE FLUID (Part No. 99953-99Y).
FRONT FORK OIL
Use only TYPE E FORK OIL (Part No. HD-99884-80).
ENGINE OIL
Use the proper grade of oil for the lowest temperature
expected before the next oil change.
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 CE, CF, CF-4 and CG-
4. The preferred viscosities for the diesel engine oils, in
descending order, are 20W-50, 15W-40 and 10W-40. At the
first opportunity, see a Buell dealer to change back to 100
percent Harley-Davidson oil.
