Use the search function. There must be over 10,000 pages in this forum on this topic.

Sounds just like a HD service manager. When I put a cam plate on the counter my HD service manager asked me "what's that thing". USE SYNTHETIC EVERYWHERE!!!

Most use syn oil for added protection against wear and/or viscosity breakdown due to heat. If you don't race or get caught in traffic on hot days you don't really need it, but I use it just the same. do a search and you will find at least 50 pages of facts, opinions,and myths on this very topic!

When I did the 1k oil change on my 2010 FXDC, I used regular HD oil. Once I get to the 5k mark, I'll switch over to synthetic.
