History

RevTech Premium High Performance Oils:
Heritage, Innovation, and Performance

The RevTech® brand was created in the late 1980s and early 1990s by Custom Chrome, one of the world’s largest distributors of aftermarket parts and accessories for Harley-Davidson® motorcycles.

The Birth of the Brand

Before RevTech hit the market, motorcycle riders often had to rely on standard automotive oils or expensive OEM products. Custom Chrome recognized a distinct gap in the market: American V-Twin engines require specialized lubrication due to their air-cooled design, high operating temperatures, and separate transmission and primary drive systems. RevTech oils were specifically engineered to handle these intense thermal and mechanical demands.

Specialization in V-Twin Performance

Over the decades, RevTech evolved from a specialized line of lubricants into a complete performance brand. Alongside its comprehensive range of engine, transmission, and primary oils, the RevTech line expanded to include high-performance crate engines, transmissions, and hardware.

Key Highlights of RevTech Oil History:

  • Engineered for Extreme Conditions: Formulated specifically to withstand the extreme heat generated by air-cooled V-Twin engines.
  • Product Line Evolution: Expanded to include mineral, semi-synthetic, and full-synthetic oils, as well as specialized gear and primary fluids.
  • Global Reach: Distributed through Custom Chrome’s extensive global network, RevTech became a trusted standard for custom bike builders and V-Twin enthusiasts across North America and Europe.

Today, RevTech remains synonymous with proven reliability and maximum wear protection—designed by riders, for riders.

RevTech Premium High Performance Oil
New Bottle Design and Shipping Sizes

Our RevTech oils are gradually being converted to a new filling system and a contemporary bottle design. The container and shipping sizes have been optimised to meet the demands of our dealers. Thus, the 12 x 1 quart will become the 12 x 1 litre container and the 6 x 1 gallon will be changed to the 4 x 4 litre container. From the 60-litre drum to the convenient, model-specific oil change kit including filter and sealing ring, our oils are available under the well-known RevTech brand name. RevTech oils are available for all applications!
