    Who still uses Mobil 1 oil?

    I use M1 5w-20 in my Honda Element. I also have a Mazda 3 which also requires 5w-20 and have always used MC in it.

    Manual transmission "snobs"?

    Harley Syn3 or Amsoil

    What kind of game is Harley playing? They nor any other manufacturer can make you use a specific brand of oil. Aren't they making enough on vests and chaps?

    Got a new Dyna Lowrider oil question?

    You DO NOT have to take your bike back to the dealer for that maintenance. A friend of mine with a '01 Ultra uses Amsoil 20/50 in his. He always had a little clutch chattering with the Harley oil. The Amsoil got rid of it.
