Amsoil superiority?
I recently switched my 2007 Harley Electra Glide Police M/C (13,000 miles) from H/D's Screamin Eagle synthetic oil to Amsoil M/C 20-50. The bike's oil measuring instructions for their Screamin Eagle oil says to fill to midpoint on the dipstick to allow for heat expansion. (that was correct when I used Harley's oil)
Well, I did so & filled oil reservoir using Amsoil as mentioned, mid level only and immediately noticed no heat expansion factor, so I topped off the reservoir just barely below"full hot mark" (for the Harley Oil).
My Amsoil consistently measures both hot & cold at the same mark, no expansion noted, seems a terrific thing, proving Amsoil's superior quality, no I don't sell Amsoil, nor do I have stock options.
Bike has an factory installed oil cooler & parade fan option. 103 cid engine.

All oil is going to expand with higher temp. Btw.........they are supposed to, so who cares? Their job is to lube the engine........that is what is important.
All synthetics today are about the same and very good. They are more the reason engines last longer today then the changes in the engines themselves. I use whichever brand name is on sale in my bike and BMW car.

My dipstick reads the same hot or cold also. I'm currently using Mobil 1 Syn, no oil cooler, no cooling fan. I don't fill to the full mark though - I get oil coming out the breathers if I do.

No, it's true man. Sliced bread WAS the greatest thing until Amsoil! 
Actually I'm a big fan of the stuff..it's ll I run. Tried the other stuff, but bike ran noticeably cooler and quieter on Amsoil in engine. Unlike the OP, I can see the level change with temperature.

Amsoil rules from everything I`ve read - I`m a big Motul fan for the cage but the tests I`ve seen show Amsoil the best for scoots - even better than Motul scooter oil.
