I think i am changing to Redline oil on my next change,being a Sporty i only have 2 holes but i must say the Harley Syn 3 did not impress me after having the oil analysis done as it failed the vis test for 20W50 and came back more like 10W40.
Oil filters are very subjective and i currently have a "Pure Power" filter on mine which is very spendy for a filter though it is a well built piece.
Next dyno run it will be compared to a Napa filter to see if any claims are valid.
I believe the current HD filters are made by Purolater.
Heres a link for some filter views.

well i was thinking about mobil 1 vtwin oil, i know i can get that at the local autozone but if i understand right i shouln't use it for the tranny..i was thinking i could use the mobil 1 75w90 gear oil in the tranny, now if i could pick up a good oil filter, i wouldnt have to drive very far every time i want to change the fluids in my bike..

I just bought 4 black filters this time instead of chrome to save some money.They were like $7 each plus $7.50 for shipping.No tax.

Napa Gold 1348. Black in color, peel the stickers off the filter. 3/4" x 16tpi threads,
8 psi by-pass valve, anti-drain back valve, made by Wix. Very good quality. Same filter branded by Wix is 51348.
Will fit 88" twin cams.
