best engine oil

I just moved over here from the sportster side. What is the best engine oil for a 07 road king with 96ci engine. I ran mobile 1 synthetic 15w50 in the engine and 75w90 in the primary of my sporty. What do you all use?

Mobil V-Twin 20w50 all 3 holes. I like syn. for how it handles heat. Lots of opinions in the forum here, do a search, it's been beat to death. Good luck!

I run the Amsoil 20W50 in the engine and have stuck with the HD Formula+ in the Prim/Trans, thinking of using a 75W90 in the trans the next change. As most will tell you; do a search, everyone’s different...
