oil

I didn't notice any difference using it compared to any other synthetic.....there are many comparable oils that are easier to secure as well as less expensive. I believe it's the difficulty in finding a regular source that gives the illusion that the oil is excreted from the loins of a golden goose and therefore highly coveted. Spend your money on whatever you wish.

Which is why I grabbed a beer and popcorn, so I could enjoy the show.
Myself, I DO run Amsoil in both the crankcase and primary, and am happy with it. And for the record, I run Spectro 75/140 in the tranny. But each to their own.
Run what makes you comfortable, any oil rated for the V twin will be fine if changed regularly. Now there is fodder for another subject as to what constitutes regularly.

my 2 cents --- I have used Amsoil for 30 plus years -- It is good oil
However, after a lot of reading, I decided to try Castrol RS V twin oil -- immediately I noticed a much more quiet engine after the oil change - -getting about time to do another change and I will use Castrol RS again -- I got it from Amazon
By the way I was so impressed I put the Castrol full synthetic in my truck - and a lifter noise I had for 50,000 miles went away after the change.
your results might be different-- I have been doing a lot of reading lately by some independent riders regarding the break down of oil -- these riders are not dealers for any brand but do test different brands of oils -- some of the results are eye opening.
