I've seen the Formula+ VOA posted a few times. I can't find an HD360 VOA. Anyone know if one exists?

 

Assuming you mean UOA, check on the BITOG oil forums.

 

I have not seen any VOA of HD 360.

If you want a UOA of HD 360 I have one.

 

Any chance of you posting it? I'm curious myself as I either use that or Shell Rotella in my 96 incher. I've used Mobil 1 and Syn3 in it but I notice more top end noise with synthetic. I know a lot of people swear by synthetic but I just don't like using it because of the noise. Beside Harley recommends HD360 or 15w40 diesel oil so I'm comfortable with it, it would be nice to see an actual breakdown of the oil though.

 

Poco, I meant VOA. I've seen the UOA's. Actually, all I'm looking for is the flash point if you guys happen to know it.

 

Samples 1 and 8 are HD 360 all others are Amsoil MCV 20W50.

 

It looks like the HD360 held up just as good as Amsoil in your UOA's. Low wear numbers like that, Why spend the extra cash on high doller syn oil?

 

I was also suprised how well HD 360 held up.

I have thought about going back to HD oil but just haven't.

 

If you want a good dino 20w50 check this out

It's about $5 quart

 

Well you have the proof on the paper with the about the same milage on the HD360. I cant realy see any benifit to using the Amsoil for $10+ bucks a qt. I know, everybody talks about the heat thing but just cant see where there is a real problem with it in your UOA. To me this whole synthetic oil stuff is alot of hype and nothing more. Thanks for posting your report, good info.
