Why not go with the cycle oil? It has been formulated for air cooled engines where the regular has not. The Syn 3 is not what I would call a full synthetic. It starts off life as a non synthetic basestock and is developed into a synthetic.

I will be going to the Mobil 1 I believe but I won a case of royal purple 20W 50 in a charity auction for $21. I thought I could get the max cycle but after I won the auction I was informed only motor oil. So I am planing on using this case and going to the motorcycle Mobil 1.

Mobil 1 is synthetic and the HD isn't assuming that you are talking about their 360 oil

And actually, the Mobil 1 is a full synthetic whereas I thought I read somewhere the Syn 3 is a semi from base crude stock.
correct?
