I think kbaddict wants to know if anyone uses Regular (automobile) synthetic oils or does everyone use the V-Twin (motorcycle) specific oils.
I say use the V-twin. Lots of arguments on this subject, but for my bike, I don't take chances. I use Motorcycle specific oils. |

| I use either mobil 1 15 50 in swing arm and Formula + in primary, or I use Amsoil 20 50 in both. Thats it thats all my bike likes. I tried diesel oil before. The bike told me to get it out of there so I did it ran rough at higher Rpm loss of a few ponies also and mileage. | |

I run Quaker State Enhanced Durability Syn. Blend, both cavities.
I change filter and fluids in both cavities at 1500 +/- 200 miles. I have run Amsoil in the past; but I prefer to change the fluids in my bike more frequently then they recommend and do not like the price or the inconvenience of placing an order. I am not advocating my choice over others, just stating it and why and also sharing it so that I may learn if there is a better choice when considering these factors; convenience, price, performance and longevity. If I could see a document showing why I should not run this oil vs. another, please share it for I am very interested. |

| Is the engine completely separate from the trans? Would it be safe to run a friction modified oil in the engine since the oil won't contact the wet clutch? Currently I'm runnin M1 15-50 in both holes since advance auto is running the deal for 5 quarts and M1 filter for $29. | |

Quote: That's a hard question cause everyone has a favorite. As long as it's a quality, Motorcycle specific, fully synthetic oil, you should be fine.
Any advice on what product to use or product i should stay away from? Edit: There's some HUGE oil threads on here if you want to check specific brands/weights people are using. |

| I must be the only person using dino oil. Valvoline 20w50 4 stroke. Works great in the engine and primary. Mobil 1 v twin made my motor noisy. | |

Mobil 1 v twin made my motor noisy. well the owners' manual actually recommends dino oil, so you should be good. They recommend the HD conventional motor oil. For any of you guys that are kind of on the fence, go with Amsoil. You won't regret it. |
