Default Mobil 1 V-Twin 20/50 in all three holes?

I'm switching from Harley's Syn 3 20/50 to Mobil 1 V-Twin 20/50.

Maybe a dumb question, but can I use the Mobil 1 in all three holes just like the Syn 3?

Yes I believe so because our transmission oil is separate from the engine oil. I use Red Line synthetic transmission fluid in the tranny and Mobil 1 in the engine.

The information you seek is printed on the bottle of oil.

No matter how many times I hear it my mind goes to dirty places when I hear the expression "all three holes"...

Thanks, Yea, I did see that, but it wasn't Harley Specific.

Big Twins
20W-50 VTwin - Engine
10W-40 4T Racing - Primary
75W-90 LS Gear Oil - Transmission
Sportys
Use the 20W-50 VTwin in the transmission/primary unit since they are not separate like the BTs.

These are all Mobile 1 products.
