What Oil Is The BEST

I'll tell ya' for $20 into my PayPal account!
Look, IMO it is nearly impossible to blow up a late model Harley motor due to an oil related failure, period.
First 50,000 miles, Syn 3 (semi synthetic,) because I worked at a Harley Dealer and got it at cost plus 10%.
50,000 to 120,000 miles Mobil 1 V-Twin full synthetic, but then I learned about:
Mobil 1 15W-50 automotive full synthetic, 120,000 to present and $25 for a 5 Quart jug.
And here's a kicker for ya'. I ran cheap *** Fram filters for the first 100,000, not knowing how poorly constructed they were. Once I learned I went to Wix, Mobil 1, etc. But it apparently didn't matter.
Tranny Mobil 1 75W-90 since the beginning.
Primary Wal-Mart 20W-50 dino oil (Tech brand $2.59 a quart.) But then I don't have the crappy compensators '07 to present (but I do run the same clutch.)
See, if I can't blow it up from my choice of oil and filters, you probably can't either. (And how many here are every going to see 100,000 miles on their ride anyway?)
