Default 1000 mile service Amsoil/Redline?????

1000 mile service coming soon.I used Amsoil in my 2011 wide glide and I liked it a lot.Dealer is recommending Redline what do you think.I have heard good things about Redline and I know how Amsoil preforms already.

I went with the HD Syn3 upgrade on the 1K service for my '12 RGU for an additional charge of $30. I received a coupon for a free 1K service when I bought the bike. But my future oil changes will be with Redline for all 3. The Redlline transmission lube with shockproof is great, and really makes the trans shift smoother.

If those are your choices, you can't really go wrong. Both are good lubricants and will serve you well.

I Run Maintenance on a fleet of 400 semis, 100 fork lifts, 10 yard trucks, and you will never find synthetic oil in any of my rigs. Don't wast your money just change your oil when the clock says to.

My last commuter went 550,000 miles on original motor and trans.... no synthetic oil required.
