Use Harley trans Fluid or Harley Formula +
The Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail typically requires about 5 quarts of engine oil for the motor. For the transmission, it generally takes around 1 quart of transmission fluid. Always consult the owner's manual for the specific model year to confirm these capacities, as they may vary slightly.
To change the transmission in a 1996 Harley Softail, first ensure the motorcycle is on a stable lift and disconnect the battery. Drain the transmission fluid and remove the primary cover by taking off the bolts and disconnecting the clutch. Next, remove the transmission by unbolting it from the engine and the frame, then replace it with the new unit, reassembling in reverse order. Finally, refill the transmission with the appropriate fluid and check for leaks before taking the bike for a test ride.
Harley recommends their own Formula+ but I prefer Red Line Heavy ShockProof gear oil. http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=44&pcid=8
