At 1,300 miles I'm ready to begin using synthetic oil (Mobil1 15-50 in the engine), H-D Formula+ in the primary. But is there a separate transmission oil? And if so, what should I use there? Or is the crankcase & the transmission one unit?

They are separate units.
I use the same synthetic oil in both.
I have it changed at the dealer, they use the Harley Syn.
I top off with Mobil 1 15-50 as needed in both engine and transmission.

So, let me get this straight. There are three separate units: 1) engine, 2) transmission, and 3) primary case? Is that right?

No. Primary and the transmission share the same oil. Engine oil is completely separate.

Whodom is correct.

1. H-D Syn 3 in the engine (runs cooler)

2. H-D Syn 3 in the primary/trans (shifts much smoother)

You won't be disappointed.

So just curious how many change their primary/tran fluid every oil change, or just every other? Assuming your doing oil changes ever 2500 miles.
