Schaeffer oil for your bike?
#4
When you look at the brands and types of oil everyone here is using, it seems plain and simple that Harley's can, and will run good on just about anybody's oil. It doesn't matter if it's mineral or synthetic, as long as it there's oil in the tank. Changing your oil usually makes the rider feel better while you can't prove the motor even notices it. And the more some spend, the better THEY feel about the oil. Here's something else to look for, the API symbol on a bottle of "motorcycle oil". They may state they meet or exceed the specs, the mfgr just doesn't want to pay API to certify it. So it may not be up to the API standards ,and may vary in quality from batch to batch. Using a VOA and a UOA to test your brand of oil is the only way to tell how good your oil is doing,and how long to safely run it. The most expensive oils don't always turn in the best results, but according to their advertising you may be damaging your bike by not using it.,,
