Oil Capacity?
From what I have read, isn't the Mobil 1 V-Twin meant for air cooled V-Twins? The Nomad calls for 10w-40 under most conditions. I did try the Rotella 5w-40 though. So far so good.

Oil Capacity?
Mike,
Take a look at the site glass; it has indicated on the face an "H" (high) and and "L" (low) fill marks. Do not exceed the high level fill mark. You won't hurt any thing running the oil level at or very near the "H" level .
