RE: Changing from SYN3 to Amsoil
many will choose mobile-1 and I'm sure a great many of the above mentioned cars using mobile-1 is due to 'accessability' and name recognition (as mentioned by bryan). You can get mobile-1 virtually anywhere. Amsoil.... well that is a little trickier to get it. Companies aren't going to put original fills in a vehicle where a potential buyer asks what oil is in it ... and they say AMSOIL... and they go ... huh???? I gotta find an amsoil dealer for purchasing my own oil? Companies won't sell as many cars that way. However .... that doesn't mean that Mobile-1 is "Better" than amsoil or Red Line. The name is well known as stated and can be purchased virtually anywhere with ease. Almost any box-store and auto-parts store carry it. Very convenient.
I think amsoil and mobile-1 are almost the 'same' I'm sure one or the other is a bit better but I'm also sure statistics can be provided showing why one or the other is 'better'. I'm not as familiar with Red Line so I'm not mentioning it much.
Bottom line... both are good. I went with amsoil because I didn't want to run 20w50 in all 3 holes. I ended up with the amsoil Severe Gear for the Tranny and 20w50 for crank and primary.

I use Amsoil, the lesser known oil.

RE: Changing from SYN3 to Amsoil
My oil can beat your oil up!
Your oil has cooties!
It's a marketing conspiracy!
I'm smart...you're stupid!
If it's on TV it has to be good!
I guess the part where I said I wasn't going to get in the the big oil debate went right over a few heads. Did anybody even read what I wrote or did you all just jump to the red print.

I didn't say it was better...I said he would be better off. I'm not going to get in the big oil debate here but I can tell you this...I have used them all. I too have been on the "perfect oil" quest and spent hundredsand hundredsof dollars in the last25 years and came back to Mobil 1. This is not my first TCand I have hadmany HDmotorcycles (and other brands)over the years. I just feel with the experience I have had that the perfect combination for a new HD is...
Mobil 1 V-Twin20/50 in the crank and primary and Mobil 1 75/140 in the transmission.
I am by no means an expert, nor do I sell the stuff...I just know what works.

My feeling is any good oil (Amsoil, Mobil 1, etc) will work well. The cost is about the same.
