I understand that HD does not make there own oil, but, does anyone know what company does? I have a friend with a HD that is currently running HD synthetic and was wondering if there was any difference and if so anything cheaper.
Harley-Davidson motor oil.

Citgo was the last company I heard of making the Harley Davidson motor oil.
Even many Harley riders know/think that there are better oils out there at better prices.
Not sure about that but syn3 runs like #@$%! in my TC88 and causes top end valve clatter that disappears when Mobil1Vtwin is used. Lots of people don't like the syn3 on the Harley forums based on having their dealers installing it. I have one quart left that I'll probably use in my primary or give it away but never again in the engine. Using it in the trans is simply unwise. Even the wrenches at my Harley dealer prefer M1 in their bikes.
Thanks guys,
Sorry about the Car/truck section post, but, I had read in a motorcycle magazine that HD oil was the same type if not the same oil (just put in a HD package) as the car/truck oil and can be used at a cheaper price. Your replies just confimed this. As they say in Hawaii, Mahalo.
