First, I use Amsoil, and change it at 2500 miles. Overkill, but worth it to me.
No, the MOCO can not void your warranty for using any brand of oil you want, as long as it is the viscosity they recommend. If they give you crap about it, show them this... http://www.dynosources.com/dept.asp?d_id=203&l1=203 Basically it reads that unless they supply the oil, for free, they can not void your warranty for choosing your own brand. This holds true for any other modifications you might want to do to your bike. They have to be able to prove that any mod done is the reason for you to need warranty work done. BTW.

I just performed my own 1000k on my 2008 Ultra. I used Syn 3 but when the engine gets warm the oil pressure is lower than on dino oil. IF I use Mobile 1 and Redline in the tranny will it void the warranty????
