I believe you are correct that HD ships them from the factory with synthetic. I know that was what was recommended by the dealer when I took my 06 Road King in for the 1K service and I have used synthetic in all 3 holes ever since without any problems. I currently have about 15,500 miles on it and the level never drops between the 5K service. If anything I think that it would help prevent glazing on the cylinder walls during break-in.

and I love my Redline oileven though I will use Belray in my RK when I have enough miles on it,as I can't get the Redline V Twin oil here in Australia,only the normal Redline.That was fine in the old EVO but this thing runs a lot hotter and spins a lot faster,so I want to use a specialised air cooled motorcycle oil.And the Belray is my next choice

does the synthetic effect oil presure? I changed from hd 20/50 to Amsoil 20/50 and my oil presure seems to be a little less. is that normal with synthetic

HOLY CRAP! My eyes are burning and my brain is cooked after reading all this info about the synthetic debate. All i want to know is if anyone is happy with the syn3 the dealer uses. I do not have the time to put into ordering oil or shopping for oil. I want to do the lazy thing and let the dealer put that syn3 in at my 1k service and be done with it until 5k. Is anyone out there doing the same thing and happy about it? Thats what i want to know and read about. Please post a response. Thanks
