Just make a list of the usual suspects (M1, RP, Redline, Amsoil, etc.) and pick based on which is cheapest and most accessible to you. All are good oils and will serve well. I saw two bikes doing BB kits at the same time, one running Amsoil for 50k miles and the other running M1 15w50 for 57k miles, and neither set of jugs or pistons showed any measurable wear. I ran RP in my old RK and at 106k the heads had never been removed, showing no outward signs of wear. Another friend has used Syn3 for 70k, and he hasn't had any trouble except for the usual cam-chain tensioner replacement.
For most, M1 15w50 will be the bargain of the bunch at $20 for a 5-qt. bottle at Wal-Mart. You can't beat that and it's a great oil.

Geez! A guy reading this to educate himself a little and choose the right oil to use will walk away scratching his head. I guess there is no real answer on which oil is the best. You read and read and think you have it figured out and then here comes some new evidence that invalidates all you just read.....I guess I should just flip a coin, pick one and hope I choose wisely.

RE: Amsoil White Sheet
Just wanted to let the forum hear about this.I have been using Amsoil for 7 years now,not only in my harley,but in every peice of equipmentI own.Every year we ride in the parade inBunkie Louisiana,and it's so hot that usually we would have to bug out and let our bikes cool down.Alot of stopping,and starting,when I changed my harley to Amsoil the heating wasen't a problem,and diddn't have to stop,first time ever.I ran the amsoil for 10,000 miles changed the filter at 5,000 nad ran it on out.After that I had the oil sampled. The oil was still shear stable at 10,000 miles,even the metal contaminat's were lower then 20/w 50 petro at 5,000 miles,couldn't believe it but it happened.Still use it great oil
