Local 20w-50 hdeo no. But you can use m1 15w-50 as its got an older diesel rating and a stout ad pack from Walmart. Can also get castrol gtx classic 20w-50 as it's also ad packed but it's only available online but walmart has the best price and ships for free if you buy two.
Thanks. I want to see some UOA of that 15w50 in a HD first.
Look in the oil analysis thread there have been some posted. I'd stick to 20w-50 or 15-50 JavierH19 cited for your HD if it has a shared sump but if you wanted to run diesel get 15w-40 & make sure it has the Jaso spec.
You could try Mystik 15w50 oil. It’s a semi synthetic HDEO. I find it at our local farm stores like Farm & Fleet.
Just my $0.02

20W-50 HDEO is tough to find in US. Here is another thread on same topic:
Mobil1 15W-50 is a great option. Apparently Mystik 15W-50 works great in Harley Davidson. Rotella T6 15W-40 is also commonly used in shared sump with great success.
Otherwise your best bet is Mobil1 V-Twin 20W-50.
When buying hdeo 20w50
Are there some brands that aren't HDEO? Or are all 20w50 apart of the hdeo family? I know 15w40 has a strong additive pack ( usually) but I've never paid attention to 20w50.

Otherwise your best bet is Mobil1 V-Twin 20W-50.
How about a purpose made product like Castrol Power1 V-Twin Full Synthetic?
Robot or human?

I tried ordering Delvac 20w50 through Advance Auto, they don't have it. I don't think Mobil sells it in this country. It's not even available on Amazon.
My local Walmart is all out.
I used to get AIr cooled 20 w 50 at my local Auto Zone, then I'd use it in the Borman 6
People have been running 15/50 M1 for a long time. If you really want you might find some UOA in the oil section of HD Forums or here, but it is one of the "go to's".
Just now seeing that 20w50 VR1 Valvoline is Synthetic, may try that.

That - IMO V-Twin in the motor, Racing 4T in the primary and Redline Shockproof in the trans is the magic combination. but it is not the budget combo for sure.

That’s funny right there! That was the same exact combo that I ran in mine! In my Kawasaki I use the 4T.
I don’t know if all of the Orielly’s had/ has it marked down, but I picked up 4qts of the 4T this last weekend, and they had it marked down to $9.99 per qt. I think the 20w-50 was the same.
