Mobil 1 V Twin hands down IMO. Just not in the trans.

AMSOIL IS BEST BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION MOBIL1 IS BETTER. i EVEN READ A REPORT THAT SHOWS HD 360 IS BETTER THAN SYN3.

Mobile 1. If not available, use Wal-Mart re-refined dino oil and don't worry about viscocity.

So wolf, are you still using the SYN 3 in the trans after all those miles on the bike? What was it 140K when the engine went?

My engine hasn't gone. But it will for sure last longer than yours besides being faster......
