Default Another Oil Question

Is anyone using Brad Penn oil? How do you feel about it? I currently use Amsoil in two of my bikes and since I primarily ride my Flhtk now, I might use the Brad Penn in my shovelhead and softail. It's about 1/2 the price but is it any good?

Possibly it's cheaper than Amsoil because Brad Penn is Dino. Their own website doesn't exactly give it flying colors. But, maybe that's just because the web people aren't in marketing.
" A good multi-viscosity choice..."

But, some will simply say...if you change it regularly, and use the proper viscosity, and rating, it doesn't matter.

But, my '12 runs hot...so Amsoil synthetic for me.

I'll still use Amsoil in my Ultra but the softail might only get 1k miles this year and the shovelhead about 2k. The shovelhead will keep getting conventional oil since it leaks and lubes the chain and goes through a qt every 1k.
