UPDATE:
I put the Amsoil in the sun and as it warmed the vibrating stoped, I quickly emptied the container and added SYN 3. I plan on putting the container out in the cold againtonight and see if I was able to dilute the Amsoil enough that the vibration is eliminated. This hopefully will work as the container is a favorite of mine.

Last night I put a quart of amsoiloutside in the cold and when I got up this morning it was vibrating

I am purchasing a 2007 Springer with all maintenance included at no charge, called the Family Plan at Rice Lake HD, Wisconsin. I am also an AMSOIL dealer and will go with the no charge maintenance (fluids included), saves tons of dough! Even thought the AMSOIL products are the top of the line!

I like Vodka and Amsoil on the rocks with a twist of lime.
Goes down smooth.[8D]

The color of oil has very little to do with it's protection. OIl changes from that gold color to a dark brown very fast from heat, and is normal. Not saying that you changing your oil more often is bad, just saying don't judge the oil by its color
