Default Fluids changed-pretty satisfied

After reading many articles from this site I just changed all my fluids.
I went with Mobil 1 synthetic 10-30 in Crank and Chain and Mobil
Synthetic 75-90 gear oil in trans. I’m pretty happy, seems to shift/run smoother.
Could be my imagination but I was running HD Syntec before in all three holes.Wasn’t sure though if I should be running something else in the Chain.

I wouldn't use synthetic in the chain
because it can cause the clutch to slip.

Just use a good primary oil.
