Synthetic Oil Change POLL

[CatWoman]

Thanks Glider!! :cheers

Is there a particular filter you would recommend, I've reviewed several posts and other information -- I don't need the antisiphon filters and the larger sized 30 micron size.
The Motorcycleinfo.Calsci.com site recommended these:

Purolator PL14476 / PL14477​

Mobil1 M1-102​

Bosch 3330​

Walmart Supertech ST4967 / 4386​

I would prefer NOT to spend $ at the local Stealorship if I can help it, but if you think it would be the best. The shop where I do most the work on my bike uses primarily HiFlo fliters - have you heard of these? (I have been using them since I bought the bike - have I done her a disservice? :sd )

I Really Appreciate you expertise and Help!! :bigsmiley11:

Nobody dislikes giving the dealer money more than I do but I recommend the HD filters because they were specked and made for the motor and not "adapted" to it like other companies do.

You'll find a noted difference in aftermarket oil filters in certain features as well as micron ratings and filter media and construction that fall short in most cases from the HD filters but if they look the same on the outside and listed "for use on HD engines" that doesn't make them as good as....

My 2007 Ultra had 5000 miles on it when I bought it. I changed all fluids as soon as I got it. Amsoil 20/50.:TEXAS

Bought a 2006 UC (SE engine) in June and changed to syn oil after 2000 km, bike runs cooler with less noise. Go figure eh!!!

Full Synthetic in all three holes @ about 3,000 miles in my 2008 FLHTCU.

Well, I am a new HD owner myself. My metric bikes oiled everything out of one hole. I put my HD on SYN3 on the 1000 mile service. I am hearing that some are not big fans of the Syn3. The 4 names that kept coming up are Mobil1, Spectro,Amsoil and Redline. Some of those are pretty tough to find around here. I can find Mobil1 at the AutoZone and Amsoil at the rice burner shop. I've never seen or heard of the others.
Wha are are the downfalls of the Syn3?
