Switched from Syn 3 to Mobil 1, change every 5k & always use a new filter.

Syn 3 in and Harley oil filter all three holes on an '05 Deuce traded with 86k plus miles. Same on '11 RGU currently with 32k plus miles change at every 2,500 miles. I will never move away from an H-D filter, but if I was to change oil it woul be mobil 1. I want say it but someone will chime in about dreading another oil thread/failure to use the search function. My opinion start any thread you so desire.

Go with Mobil 1 and change at 5k intervals or yearly. I wouldn't waste my money on Syn3
