    Default Calling Tfogger

    Looking for a synthetic oil recommendation for an air cooled v-twin. Specifically of the Harley-Davidson variety. Been running the Harley branded stuff but I imagine there are better options out there. Amsoil? Royal Purple? Mobile 1?

    Thanks.

    I've been using Mobil 1 for about 3yrs, and have been happy with the performance.

    ETA: Especially at $3-$4 cheaper a qt than HD branded product. Plus, I bought 6 or 8 cases in Sturgis on a promo deal from Mobil, so it's actually cheaper than that, but I'll likely be out by the end of this season.

    What weight do you need?

    I run Rotella T6 in all my bikes, and it is awesome.

    Cant remember the weight off the top of my head. 20W-50 maybe?

    My bike isn't a diesel though so I'll probably pass on the Rotella.

    +1 on the Rotella for my V-twins. It's a great oil, and can hold up to the heat and pressures. When I ran vehicle oil in a motorcycle, the biggest thing I avoided was a little circle on the back, you wanted to make sure it didn't say something about energy. I will try and stop by autozone and show the 2 different circles.

    When I ran Mobil 1 in the CBR, it was 20W50. I currently run rotella T6 synthetic

    I believe we're getting there on the next day, August 1st. Although I might be wrong. Could be the 31st.

    Can't remember where we're staying. Some campground. My wife and brother in law kind of planned this whole thing. I'm just tagging along to pay for everything.

    I'll shoot you a PM with my number if you wanted to get together for a beer while we're there.

    Have a buddy that swears by Ansoil, but I'm a cheap bastard.
