Synthetic Oil Change POLL

[Glidedude]

I have 32,500 on my 08 Super Glide and have used Redline in all three since 1,000 and she has run like new with zero challenges.

The Red Line Trans fluid is magic with smooth shifts and everything runs cooler. I also have a Jagg 10 row cooler.

15,000 Ks (9000 or so miles) Amsoil 20-50 in all 3 holes. Runs like a charm, Have 15,000 miles on it now. (stored for winter; (EDIT) )

Use all synthetic in the bike, a Ford Expedition recently sold with 175,000 miles on it, 04 Monte carlo with 116,000 miles on it, my wifes 2001 Monte Carlo SS, my lawn tractor, 06 Duramax Diesel, and anything else that uses Oil. I guess you might say I'm a firm believer in synthetic oil for everything. If I don't make the miles for an oil change on the engines, I change it once a year wether it needs it or not. Cheap insurance.
Transmissions and gear boxes on the bike get changed with every engine oil change. The cars and trucks, lawn tractor get changed with the recomendation of the owners manual. have yet to experience a failure using synthetic oil on anything.

CVO comes with sny3 I put 60 miles on it, I had some left over Sny 3 so i put that back in for now, but I will change over to Mobile V Twin.
Some say I should use Dino oil for the first 1000 mile to get the rings setup:newsmile032:

I did read differnat break ins, I did run her up to 4000rpm through the grears up to 4th gear and let the compression slow her back down and down shifting at the right Rpms, did this for about 10 miles then went through all the gears but keep her un 4000rpm
She only has 120 miles on for now waiting for roads to dry
