Hey, fellas. New 2013 Street Bob owner here. I'm new to the Harley world, so, sorry in advanced if my inquiry has been asked and answered a billion times, but....

What do you guys recommend for motor oil for your Harley - synthetic or conventional?

 

Conventional

 

Easy answer....At 1,000 mile break in service, switch to synthetic. It has superior properties to conventional.
Amsoil motorcycle, Mobil 1 v-twin, HD Syn 3, and many other choices available.

 

I would have to agree

 

Been off the forum for almost 2 years. Come back today and guess what an oil thread.

Reminds me of that scene from Crocodile Dundee when he turns on I Love Lucy and says, "Yup, that's what I saw!"

 

I ran conventional for 5000 miles on both my new harleys . than switched to amsoil 20w50.

 

Synth in a Twin Cam every time, they run too hot for conventional oil.

 

Get the best of both worlds. Use a syn blend.

 

Please dear sweet Jesus!
Not another syn vs. dino opinion thread!

Well, as long as we're here, syn.

Hahaha! Sorry, man. Like I said, I know it's been asked an answered a billion times, but I'm a green Harley owner. I'm getting my 1000 mile checkup done and the dude told me he doesn't use synthetic oil.
