It is not just about change...it, to me and someothers, isabout changefor the better. So, as was stated, if what he has beendoing for ten years works well, then why mess with successjustbecause you can?

My 2007 Fatboy had an 88TC that I ran Schaeffer's 707 in. My 2014 Wide Glide with a 103 runs the same 707. It's not cheap or easy to get. My second choice might be (haven't used it yet) Mobil 1 20w50 V-Twin. Some report more engine noise with the Mobil 1. My engines have been quiet with the Schaeffer's.
I also run Schaffers 20w-50 and get it from local dealer and it's about $7 a quart..
If he has been running dino oil in it , i might keep the same. Simply that on a long highway trip, you don't want to find out that it uses more oil with syn and run low. I don't use them in my cars, but i like amsoil for my bike and outdoor equipment.
