I seem to be burning or leaking oil in my 1985 elextra glide. Can I put non synthetic back in the bike once I have been running synthetic?

 

Yes. (5 more characters)

 

I did.

 

dyno oil and 1/2 quart of lucas additive will fix it

 

I was using syn oil and switched back to Castrol 20/50 without issues.

 

Same here, and...my base gasket stopped it's oozing. I know the gasket will need replacement eventually, but I will not complain about the leak stopping.

Your bike may run a little quieter with conventional oil. I like valvoline racing 20w-50. Has a higher amount of zinc than some of the other conventional oils and is still easy to get. I change mine about every 2000 miles. YD

 

what is dino oil? and will this help with lifter noise at operating temp and operation?

 

help on last post

 

Dino oil is non-synthetic, just a nick name for regular oil. what quiets my engine is heavier oil! I usually run straight 60w in summer, I just haven't got around to it this year, since I don't ride much in summer here in the oven.

 

how about the lifter noise
