Engine oil AMSOIL or FUCHS
I use Amsoil in all three, but I use their VTwin kit for my M8. Different trans, primary and engine oils.
I was absolutely amazed at how much smoother and more responsive the bike was.
Ams oil, yes it's overpriced but it is the best and going from stock HD fluids in the primary and tranny it does shift noticeably quieter and it's much easier to find neutral
I use Amsoil for all 3 and ride a 2008 H-D Softail Crossbones
I use [this for crankcase oil](https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-20w-50-synthetic-v-twin-oil-change-kit--4-quarts-with-chrome-filter-hdck/) - now 4quarts = 1 gallon so there's a bit extra in this but it also comes with an oil filter.
I run amsoil. They have specific oil for all 3 holes. Seems to quiet down transmission and primary on my 01 road king
I run Amsoil signature with an amsoil or wix filter, I usually only do 3k intervals to keep the 257 happy though lol.
One step above “full synthetic” is “100% synthetic” from Amsoil. Switched years ago, car has a subtle purr.
Also my main purpose is for wear protection and high temp protection etc which the regular line does exceptionally well
From wear ratings and certification Amsoil, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, Mobil 1 (Extended Interval). Amsoil I only use for track days, since I swap the oil out at 3.5-4K.
Real synthetic oil is way better than regular oil. Even full synthetic oil is better than regular oil. But if you want the best oil for the money look into Amsoil signature series. This oil is a true 100% synthetic oil and will prevent wear and quiet an engine down better than regular oil. I had a lifter tick in my Volvo 850 and it was caused by the pickup tube seal wearing away. I put Amsoil signature series in it and the film strength of the oil was so good it stopped ticking for a year before I had the seal replaced.
I've posted my UOAs on TDIClub and BITOG. The factory fill was additive depleted at 5400 miles. The Fuchs 507.00 in the next fill was good for 7-7500 miles. It might have gone longer, but I changed it out in advance of a long trip. Bottom line is that preliminary evidence is that the 507 oils are inadequate for extended OCIs in the 3.0L motor.
