No , don't get me wrong. I think synthetic oil is very a good oil to use in an air cooled motor, just not the syn 3 oil and especially NOT in the transmission. Use a gear oil in there. Syn 3 is not a true synthetic, rather it's a group 3 oil. True synthetics like Mobil 1 ,Redline and many others are a group 4 and a much better choice. Synthetics will stand up to more heat without breaking down than dino oil will. Here's some more on it. http://www.hdtalking.com/oil_related...html#post10324 http://www.hdtalking.com/transmissio....html#post9744

 don't got to worry 'bout that around here.....that was just an easy way to pass on some good info from someone not trying to sell a product. (IE amsoil) It's alway hard for me to believe a test result from some that stand to make a $$$. Not saying Amsoil isn't a good oil, I just think there's probably others that are good too. From personal experience and IMO SYN 3 isn't one of the good ones. Ride Safe

Re: Engine Oil Poll
I use the Mobil 1 Vtwin. Not because I think it's better than any other synthetic, but because I can get it around the corner at the local Auto-Zone at 6 AM on the day I'm supposed to leave on a road trip.
Oh, and I agree with the comment on using motor oil in the tranny. DON'T do it!. Gear oil has very different properties than motor oil. I also wouldn't put gear oil in my motor, but that's another thread, I think....

Re: Engine Oil Poll
Oil threads are never ending and what it comes down to is which oil you prefer. With a few exceptions pretty much any oil will do the job. It just depends on which one makes you feel warm and fuzzy
 I like the Mobil 1 V Twin myself.

Re: Engine Oil Poll
my 2008 Ultra Classic is due for it's 1000 mile service soon. (even sooner if snow goes away) I want to change to Amsoil MCV in engine, primary and transmission. Has anybody had any experience with this oil in their 08 bike especially in regards to transmission and primary?
