Default Oil Changes

Hi everyone

First Harley in almost 35 years. I have a 2013 Dyna Wide Glide . Love that bike! !!!!!!.....

I looked in the owners manual and the oil recommended is a Harley 20/50. Then they tell you that you can use a oil for diesel.

I remember back in the day when I had a Shovel, we run 20/50 Castro GTX....today I run Mobil 1 syndicate in all my motors ...

Can someone recommend a oil?

Can I use Mobil 1

Want to take good care of my bike

Thanks in advance for your help
Paddy

Mobile 1 20/50 motorcycle oil...don’t use the car stuff....
Amsoil
Redline
Drag Speciality’s
pretty much any synthetic oil made for an air cooled motor Is all good oil including Harley’s brand syn3...

personally I run Amsoil in both my Harley’s

Yes, their 20/50 v-twin oil ...there are a couple of different ones out there, if you go Amsoil make sure it’s for the air cooled Harley’s

Personally the GTX would be a good choice for me but one better would be VR1. This is my next oil based on some ratings I've seen on oil . Amsoil would be great but can't bring myself to spend that much. I like to change every 2,500.
