As you point out, identifying these threads is numbingly easy. You found it after all. So why click on the damn thing just to whine ? Got nothing better to do ?

I have always used Syn3 in my bike. At 29k miles I upgraded my bike to a 103 and upon inspection of the 96 jugs we found the cross hatch marks in the jugs. I can't remember what the numbers were but the compression was still good. From everything I have read on the forums about Syn3 being bad oil I was expecting my top end to be junk but that wasn't the case.
I happen to like Mobil 1 15W-50 in the Engine (5 qt. jug from Wally World) Belray 80W in the Primary and Belray 85W-140 in the Tranny. This works for me and may or may not work for you.
What ever you choose as long as it meets spces will work great. I use Mobil 1 full synthetic 20/50 for big v twins. Be safe out there.

I change every 5000 or once a year. I use synthetic. Currently it is Redline. When I run out it will be a less expensive oil that meets the recommended specifications (mainly because I have to order Redline and I'd rather buy oil locally. I don't have anything bad to say about Redline at all! (I'm thinking Quicksilver found in the marine section at your local walmart.)
