I guess you’re just asking for curiosity’s sake but, personally, I don’t care if it’s full synthetic or not. I tried it in my last bike and didn’t like it. There are much better oils available for the same or less money. The bike in question (2011 Road Glide Ultra) ran hotter and consumed more oil than it did on either Amsoil or Lucas. My local independent shop sells both of those brands for less than the dealer wants for Syn3. In fact, I’m running Mobil 1 in my current bike. I get it at Autozone cheaper than Syn 3 and it is, IMHO, a much better oil.

 

 

I'll keep that in mind next time at my next service.

 

If it’s a MSDS it’s not current. Needs to be a SDS to be current. Search it that way.

Cheers man.

 

True, though it doesn't mean the formula's changed. But the SDS should show it.

 

It says SYN3 full synthetic on the quart bottle. If it wasn't full synthtic it would say semi synthetic. Otherwise you could have a false advertising case.

I know when I had 20-50 in my 2014 it was fairly quiet. When I had the SYN3 put in, it sounded like a type writer.

 

Man the MSDS says it's not a full synthetic and yes they've been to court about it and yes they can advertise like that and get away with it.

 

I know the first time I used Syn3 in the engine & primary on my Sportster. It sounds like it had a open roll of dimes rolling around in the primary. It took a while to get used to that sound. I've never seen the MSDS sheet on Syn3 oil. Just going by what is written on the bottle.
