hiya mik3. note that the post you replied to is ~18 months old. You might not get a prompt reply...if any.

HDs bulletin 849 from 5/17/2005 lists the crankcase change interval on a bigtwin for SYN3 at 5k miles. Your M1 is at least as good as the SYN, so why be worried about it having 2.8k at the end of your trip?

OK, could you now explain that or point me to a discussion that does? 8^)

Comparing the two M1 UOAs: 15W-50 EP and 20W-50 V-Twin. --> Differnet bikes, different conditions, different mileage!. The V-Twin juice began and remains higher on the viscosity scale, but neither appear to have sheared greatly. TBN on the V-Twin is lower, but still more than adequate to...

We now have a Mobil 1 VTwin 20W-50 OUA! See here! 2004 EG, TC88. Oil used 4,000 miles, total vehicle mileage 23,846. Also is a follow up change on same bike but using Shell Rotella T 5W-40.

And the followup on the same bike but using Shell oil Engine TC88 oil used: Shell Rotella T 5W-40 oil mileage: 2,908m engine mileage: 26,754m date: 5/19/06 SUS @210*F: 69.5 should be 65-76 Blackstone comments: We found a mild increase to iron and silicon in this sample. Iron should not have...

OK, ya got me there. I'll admit that VT's 30% higher in Zn and Phos than EP is, and 15% on the Moly. And that this is indeed signifigant. 8) But now go the next step and do the same comparison of the EP and SYN3: pretty much the same delta - EP beats SYN3 by ~30%! (not the Moly, that's just...

Well, that may be but my above post includes the most recent VOAs on BITOG for the two products, both about 13 months old. I doubt that the oils have been reformulated (again) since 03/05 but it's not impossible. Those VOAs show that VT has somewhat higher Zn (1823 to 1376) Phos (1683 to 1223)...

Mickey, I'm not trying to start a war, but it seems to me that you are actually comparing M1 VT and 'normal' auto oils (normal being those outside of the nnW-50 viscosity ranges). The VOAs for the two oils ( M1 EP and M1 VT) are darn near identical. So, could you tell me: - how EP and VT...

Here's a couple more for you: V Twin Forum Harley Chat Group FLHRSEI.ORG And they most definately do talk about oil, although "talk" might be an understatement. You might get some flames about going with the SYN3 vs Mobile1 or AMSoil or whatever, but since it's part of the service package...

o, crap no. then they'd outsource me!

I suspect that he was referring to the BITOG VOA Library. The VOAs there show both VTwin and MX4T at 91 (ppm?) moly and the 15W-50 EP at 79.

I would be really leery of running a 5W in my harley (in fact, I don't in my `05 Road Glide). As HD specifies 20W-50 you could very well blow your warranty out the door... There are numberous HD-specific forums (V-Twin Forum Harley Chat Group) that discuss oil ad nauseum and I could find not a...
