I have no clue...wasnt a concern to me when I got mine. Id say Dino...most say thats best for break in. I remember people saying Syn3 came only in CVOs in years past. Dont kow if that was the case or not. Whatever it was in mine it got dumped at a 1,000mi at my first service and everythings been fine since so whatever they used worked. Didnt ask what they put in then....first service was free so it was on there dime.

If its HD branded oil, it may not make any difference.

I was wondering if they come with 100 percent nitrogen in the tires, instead of 85...

I guess you never took a science, chemistry or physics class in school?

Atmospheric nitrogen level is 78% (roughly), oxygen is almost 21% and all other gases comprise the difference. Of course higher elevations will have less oxygen, higher nitrogen, but then, those altitudes are not generally inhabited by humans or very many mammals.

I took those classes, and many more in college, I just didn`n look up the specifics on the internet before I posted, like you did...

It was a joke, and an exact number was not needed.

To get back to the OPs original question, Unless your Harley is a Screamin Eagle version of the model, it comes with standard Harley 20-50. Only the SE models and S models with the 110 come with Syn 3 in the cases from Harley
