How many automobiles are made that way?
If I wanted a Yammiezukeehaw, I'd buy one.

Harley must have a reason they put Syn. 3 in their most expensive bikes from the factory. I'm sure it's not because they want to replace primaries and trannies.
To each their own. I just wanted the OP to know they are safe using synthetic in all 3 holes if desired.

I was just pointing out that most motorcycle trannies and clutches are bathed in motorcycle engine oil. The same can be said for ATV's. It's pretty rare to hear of tranny failures caused by oil.

If you can use Syn3 in a 3 orifices, you can use the mobile 1 as well as a zillion other products. Personally I use Redline 20/50 MC oil in the engine, their Shockproof in the transmisson, and their Primary goop in the.......wait for it................Primary.
While there are thousands of other possible choices and products, anything other then the above is simply wrong and will result in a grenaded engine. Now you know THE truth!

Gee another oil thread. Does anyone use search. However, since you obviously don't and have not read your service manual, Harley says not to use motor oil in the primary including it's own SYN3 now. This obviously applies backwards to all Harleys (someone said it's not in the CVO manuals but that he was told it was in primary by a salesman and we all know they don't lie. Not sure why anyone would want to use motor oil which has additives to keep contaminants in suspension so filter catches them in primary or transmission for that matter. (transmission and primary have no filter and the magnet is just to catch metal to show bearing or part failure) Harley obvious made a mistake in the past and they intend to rename their blended natural base / synthetic motor oil SYN2 shortly.

Where are you reading in that in the service manual?
