Default Synthetic oil question?

My last oil change I switched for the regular oil to Screamin' Eagle Syn 3. My question is, when I do my next oil change I am considering using Amsoil. Because these are both synthetics, I believe this is no big deal. Am I correct or is there something I am missing here?

Oh, I thought it was a grammer thing or something. And by the way, my Ultra would kick your Road Glide's butt any day! That's another "again" topic. LOL

OK ladies, lets step back to your corners and wait for the bell. In response to your original question 08HD; no, it won't hurt a thing to switch. You're fine to go to another brand of synthetic. Ride safe out there. Now, ding, ding, ding! Resume at will....
