Does Oil Type Matter
I understand the different viscosities, my question is between the different brands of oil. Of course my Harley manual says that I should buy HD oil. Is there a difference between the HD oil and the common oils for cars (Penzoil, Valvaline...etc)
What about sythetics?

and you will find all the information that you will need. There you will see the poll of what people use and how most do not use the HD specific oil, but you can gather information and make your decision on the benefits of synthetics.
