I prefer straight 50wt in winter, 60wt in the summer. valvoline holds up the best in the texas summers. 60wt gets thin in the summer, just think what the blended oil does like 20-50wt.

I did some research and found that mobil 1 15w/50 is more than efficient in it's use with the twin cam 88's. Spectro analysis were performed at 1,000 miles and 5,000 miles and was compared to HD 360 20w50 oil... Guess who lost... HD V-twin is a full synthetic oil but the cost is absolutely rediculous! check it out for yourselfs and just google it...

I run the Mobil 1 20w50...Sportster seems to be happy, so then I in turn am happy. Stands up to the 110 degree plus days on the road down here in July/August. (Maybe I should drink a quart or two for myself on those days?)
