Is everybody here reporting using synthetic? Wife and I are using HD360 on our RK and FW. We're about 1300 miles into a 2000 mile inferno ride right now and have needed a quart between us so far. Thinking about switching over to synthetic to see if consumption decreases. First major scorcher torture long distance trip on our M8's and this is the most oil we have consumed in the 11 months of ownership

The dealer put in SYN3 at 1000 Miles. Not sure what the bike comes with from the factory.
