I also did the forks at 5K. That was some pretty nasty gunk that came out. Plus I went with a 15W and no longer wonder the folloing...

You never know if the guy filling up the fluids...
A) Is hung over from the night before
B) Looks at his watch and says quitin'time...
C) Actually cares and did it right.

First, I use Amsoil, and change it at 2500 miles. Overkill, but worth it to me.
ORIGINAL: schuffyman

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????
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.
