Default which synthetic oil and filter?
Due for my first oil change on my 2011 strret glide. Which oil are you guys using? Amsoil, mobil 4T or what? Not concerned with using hd brand oil. What weight? I ride any temp from 50 degree to 110 degrees. Also if you have the cross reference number to the filter that would be helpful also.

Any of the top 5 or 6 brands are all great oils.
Filter HD only .

What Smitty said, but I have to be the first to ask. A 2011 bike and this is your first oil change?

I used the Amsoil filter this time around but I am not convinced it is any better than the HD one, I will see if oil pressure is more consistent.

I run Redline in all 3 holes and a K&N filter. Love the stuff!
