Using Spectro's proprietary G4 Technology and targeted anti-wear additives, the fluid increases film strength between gear teeth, reduces drag, and resists breakdown in heat, helping keep gearsets operating smoothly even under extended or heavy use. It meets API GL-5 performance and exceeds OEM and Harley-Davidson warranty requirements, and is dyed red for easy identification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this oil reduce whining and noisy 6-speed transmissions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpectro R.HDPG6 contains specialized friction modifiers and high-film-strength agents that cushion gear engagement and suppress vibration that causes audible whine.
