Oil change

The bike I have now (04 FLHTCI) is the first bike I have ever had with synthetic oil in it. I am doing my own maintenance and I am not sure about the oil filter. Is the filter the same as the regular oil filter or is there a different one for synthetic? Also how do I know if it has synthetic in all three holes? Is there a way to tell?

There is no real way for someone without a labratory tell if it's synthetic or not.
When switching to syn from petro oil I usually just do 2 quick oil changes, that way 99% of the petro oil is removed.

Not to steal the thred.. How many of you all use synth-3? My last bike I had it and can't decide if I want to put this one on it.

I won't do that, I've been changing all three at 5000 miles.
