I found a use for my old oil. My old truck has 143000 miles and i drive it about 3000miles a year so i decided to run the old syn oil thru cheese cloth and use it in the truck. i drive the bike about 22000 miles a year

 

Valvoline is going in at my next oil change....I ran HD dino the first 73k miles. I used to get it for $1.99 a quart. The local dealer had it priced at 6 bucks a quart my last visit. I decided to pass and stopped by Autozone and got 4 quarts of Valvoline for 4 bucks a quart.

 

2nd that, who do these BAST_RDS think they are. Do they believe theres no other oils to choose from. Used to use AMSOIL faithfully until they started making a fool out of me. Enoughs, enough going to switch out to LUCAS or MOBILE 1. They have lost another good customer through "GREED". AMSOIL, CAN KISS MY WHITE A$$

 

they are a sponsor here so hopefully they will hear us.

 

Switched to Mobil Vtwin 20-50 mostly due to it's ability to hold up better under higher heat than dino oil.

The heat our twins create is the real reason to go with synthetic oils. By what I read, dino oil breaks down far quicker due to heat than syn oils do. But, as someone mentioned earlier, seems like Harleys are just not that picky. So, maybe the dino oils are just fine. I just wish that syn oils were not so frickin' expensive!

 

I've been riding dino lubed Twin Cams as a duty bike since 2000.....parades, traffic stops, funeral escorts...They see more heat than the average bike. I haven't seen one melt, yet....We don't get new bikes every year or two, either. Our current bikes are '03 models and still going strong.

 

come on its a dollor more for syn oil and you only need 3 qts why are you worried bout price of oil you paid 17 g,s + for your bike.........ive used amsoil but gonna switch to mobl 1 next...................syn oil dropped my oil temp by 25 degrees for a buck xtra a qt...........dino breaks down with temp if ya wanna replace your oil quicker go ahead but you end up spending more money anywho...........just my 2 pennys and im saving em...............if your looking to save money switch to 87 octane too why your at it

 

Never cease to laugh when hear people trying to save a dollar on oil and then go spend 5 Grand on chrome which does nothing to help engine performance...

 

lol....no chit its like buying cheap beer .....why pay for a hangover............dumbarses
