Harley Davidson - Amsoil in your HD   

Everyone knows synthetic oil is better than refined petroleum. Why not use Harley synthetic oil in your motorcycle too?

See all Amsoil Motorcycle Products on one page.

For years, Harley Davidson has claimed that synthetics have no place in your motorcycle, and their petroeum lubricants were the best you could do for your bike. Harley synthetic oil wasn't offered by HD until recently. Amsoil has been offering Harley synthetic oil for years. This same time period saw great acceptance from all major vehicle manufacturers, and synthetic oil products from most major oil manufacturers. Several vehicles now come from the factory with synthetics installed.

Then, in 2003, Harley finally came to their senses and said what everyone else knew for years; synthetic oil is better. They introduced their own product; Screamin' Eagle SYN3. Now they tell you that their synthetic is best for your bike. While it's true that SYN3 is much better than the old petroleum oils previously touted, there is conclusive evidence that there are even better products available.

Please take a few minutes to review the comparisons below; the online voiceover presentation is particularly helpful, and goes a long way to explain how these tests are performed.

Never before has so much information on motorcycle oils been delivered in one easy-to-understand source.

See for yourself how the full range of the most popular motorcycle oils stand up to the hot-running, hard-pounding, high RPM conditions of motorcycle applications. This complete battery of tests includes wear protection, rust protection, oxidation stability and more. Click the image above to download the PDF document you can read at your leisure.

FEATURED INTERACTIVE TEST RESULTS

The interactive test results below offer a glimpse inside the testing that is conducted with each oil in the second edition of the "Study of Motorcycle Oils". To see how other oils compared to the AMSOIL products, simply click on their names on the left side of each graph, and their color-coded results will display. We will feature different tests on the page from time to time. If you want to know how all of the oils did on every test, you can download the entire document above.

MCVVolatility (Evaporation) (ASTM D-5800) SAE 50 Results

1. Higher temperatures produce greater volatility (evaporation).
2. Increased volatility causes increased oil consumption and emissions.
3. Oil is first heated to 250° C for a period of 60 minutes.
4. Air is drawn through the container holding the oil sample to remove vapor.
5. After 60 minutes, the remaining oil volume is weighed.

6. Comparison to initial oil weight.
7. A lower weight loss score indicates better performance.

 

Review the chart below to see how the compition compares to AMSOIL 20W-50 (MCV)

MCFViscosity Shear Stability (ASTM D-6278)

1. Oil's initial viscosity is measured.
2. Oil is tested under shearing forces.
3. Measurements are taken at the end of 15, 30 and 90 cycles.
4. Comparison to initial oil viscosity.
5. A flatter line indicates a better shear stability.

I ride, too. I started riding with Kawasakis back in the 1980's, with Kawasaki KZ, LTD, CSR, GPz, etc. Then, in 2003 I bought two Harleys and went to Sturgis. My wife and daughter both ride as well, having taken the Motorcycle Safety Foundation training.

Here are some pictures of my current bikes; a 2003 Dyna WIde Glide, and a 2008 Nightster with Vance and Hines Short Shots.

Nightster slideshow below, I also put forward controls on this bike.
