Thanks Skip. This is a tremendous help for all of us.
BTW, In your extensive testing, did you find any that came in a chrome can?

RE: Oil Analyses Results
Thanks alot Skip. Send me that table format and I'll make it look good in your post.
I'm with you on the car oil Mobile 1 stuff. I've got the Mobile 1 in my engine now, the Gear oil in my tranny, and HD in the primary, next time I will put the Mobile 1 in the primary. I'm not going to bother with the V-Twin stuff...since the only beneifits of using it will be outweighed by frequent changes.

RE: Oil Analyses Results
Just out of curiousity, how often does everyone change their oil?

Scheduled intervals for me. I think the quality of the oils has advanced enough that more is not neccesarily better. With my dusty environment, I might go a little sooner...but for now, I wll go scheduled.

Nice thread, Anybody got any idea how Synthetic Amsoil 20w50 vtwin oil would stand up against Mobile 1. Just Switched to Amsoil in all the holes in my 05 Sporty but havent rode the bike enough yet to really Feel / Notice the difference although the shifting seems a little smoother.

RE: Oil Analyses Results
I'm getting close to my 1000 service and was waiting for this post to come out. Been reading alot lately about synthetic oils and the differences between them. I was just wondering if anyone ever took their bike in for service and supplied the oil for the dealer to replace. Would they have to use it? or do they have to use only HD oil?
