Has anybody used Mobil 1 V-Twin synthetic oil in there bike? I was thinking of switching over to Harley SYN 3 but then I seen that Mobil 1 also makes a oil. Based on there reputation for car oil and the fact that they are cheaper than Harley I think that it could be a good alternate.

 

Use the "search" feature ... Lot's of info.

 

I use Valvoline's Synthetic MC oil.

 

I use Mobil 1 V twin oil in my 13 Heritage in all three holes. I like it due to cost and availability at most Wal Marts and major auto parts stores. I still however use Harley Davidson's oil filters. I change oil every 5K in all three holes since we are only talking about 4.5 quarts of oil. This is my second Harley and have had no problems using the Mobil 1.

 

Thanks for the quick replies. heritage blue do you know if you can by it by the gallon or is it only sold in quarts?

 

I get mine by the quart. Have not seen the V-twin in the five gallon jug yet. My 13 Softail Heritage owners manual says when changing oil and filter to add three quarts of oil, I did this once and it overflowed. I now put two quarts in then check dipstick and to get the oil level on the dipstick to the half way mark while on the kickstand cold usually takes another half quart.
FYI, I know a couple of guys who run Mobil 1 V-twin in the air-cooled piston single engine aircraft.

 

I think I overflowed the oil on my 96 Heritage once too. Same deal i read what the owners manual said. I think I'm sold. I'm gonna check my local walmart and pick up enough to change all three. What weight are you running?

 

double post sorry

 

heritageblue- do u use 20/50 in all 3 holes?

 

I also noticed that.

There goes their reputation !
