Oil Recommendations

For break-in and standard operation of the Ultima Shovelhead engine we

recommend using high quality petroleum based API service SJ rated motor oils,

such as Ultima’s 60 weight oil, MW# 103-111. The oil’s viscosity should be matched

with the climate conditions but in most cases Ultima 60 weight motor oil will work

fine.

Oil Filters

All Ultima

engines require oil filters. Oil filter mounting bolts are located on the

right side of the engine case made to accept 92/99 FXST

style filter mounts.

When using this type of filter housing make sure the lines are routed as shown in

Figure 5. Any of our high quality 40 Micron Ultima

/Evolution style filters can be

used with any style of filter mount.

Oil Coolers

Ultima recommends oil coolers in applications where heavy loads are pulled or

ambient temperatures exceed 90˚F or oil temps exceed 240˚F. When choosing an

oil cooler, it is best to choose one that is finned & forward mounted on the frame.

When using oil coolers in cold temperatures, either install a thermostat or a cover

to insure the oil temperature makes it to a minimum operating temperature of

180˚F.

Charging system selection

Ultima

engines are supplied with MW part #98-360 main seal spacer for use with 32 amp charging systems. This spacer was used on most 19

through 32 amp-charging systems supplied on Shovelhead

and Evolution

engines (except 1995 & later FLT

). If you use a higher output 38, 40

or 44 amp system you must change the spacer to that system’s specific spacer or the Stator Rotor will contact the crankcase. You will also have

to replace the engine main seal, MW# 95-805. All charging systems are available through Midwest Motorcycle Supply.
