Here is Harley's marketing mumbo-jumbo on it:

Harley-Davidson USA | Accessories And Apparel | Genuine Motor Accessories

Clearly stated it is a BLENDED, aka Group 3, oil. Why use a blend of dino and synthetic bases? What company is making this for HD?

I suggest a FULL synthetic or Group 4 20W50 engine oil in the engine, and a FULL synthetic or Group 4 75W90 or 75W140 gear lube (GL-5) in the transmission. Sporties should use a Fit-for-Purpose lubricant/coolant in the tranny/primary. Big twins should use a fit-for-purpose lubricant in the primary like Formula + from HD or Spectro Primary.

I think this says it all! Still not a true synthetic but NICE TRY to get the sales up Harley even with the new packaging too. :D

No doubt still supplied by Hugo Chavez and his buddies.

Read the label and know what you are buying.
 
Never said i was going to use it, just interesting that they would come out with this oil and why.
 
What's different about it than their regular 20/50, other than the bottle?
I can buy M1 VT for 2 dollars more a quart at walmart.
 
Yes I saw some the other day at the dealers. Have you ever seen the saying on the side of a soap box "New and Improved"?
