I went to a rice-burner shop for the Spectro. They had to order in the 75W140 6-speed stuff and the 85w chaincase, but they carried the brand. Got the Amsoil MCV 20w50 through a local Amsoil dealer for the engine based on the white paper. Fixin to swap out the M1 I have in all the cars to Amsoil too.

OK, here is some data for you folks that like that stuff. Just changed all the lubricants this past weekend. Engine oil had 3,910 miles on it since the last change, but I have been changing the filter every ~1,000 miles and topping up the oil level. Here is a picture of the plug straight out of the pan, and cleaned up. Very happy with this. This is the lowest amount of "fuzz" I have had on the engine oil drain plug.

TQ

Amsoil dose testing on there motor oil compared to syn 3. You can find this info on there website. Also you can use the motor oil for your primary and tranny. It is a little more expensive, but so is a harley.

I use Mobil 1 Synthetic 20/50 (V-Twin) in The Crankcase, Trans, and Primary. I have a 2008 FLHX (As you can see by my username). Living in Southern California, I've found that this works really well in my machine.

The first 10,000 miles of the machines life it had Syn 3 in it, and I noticed a lot of Trans whining in 5th and 6th Gears. With the Mobil 1, this whining sound is gone, the shifting is smooth, and the valve chatter is much less noticeable at 2500-3000 RPM.

Anyone have similar luck with the Syn 3 junk that HD pushes like crack to addicts?

Use what was made for the bike by the manufacturer of the bike. There are manufacturing differences in the other brands.
