This years bike trip will be about 6,000 miles. I'm thinking I'll be okay pushing the HD360 oil that far in my 14 Limited.

Has anyone done a motor oil analysis on conventional oil and got a recommendation to go further than the 5,000 mile suggested frequency?

 

if its all highway miles, i'm sure you'd be fine. But, I wouldn't push it much farther than that

 

Extending your service interval by such a small amount will be fine on a long trip like that. Oil suffers much more when doing mostly city work, which I suspect you will avoid doing too much of!

As a comparison I have a similar trip planned for my S&S Evo bike. My oil service intervals are 2,500 miles, but S&S confirmed that doubling that mileage between services, on a one off basis, will be fine.

 

Thanks, these are my thoughts as well.

On previous trips I have used synthetics for the extra life, but do not care for the excessive valve train noise that accompanies it.
