|  Harley Owners AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil vs. Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle Syn3 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil
The introduction of Screamin' Eagle Synthetic Motorcycle Oil by Harley-Davidson signaled the Motor Companies acceptance of synthetic lubricants as superior performing products for their motorcycles. However, Harley-Davidson V-twin air cooled engines are not so unique in their lubrication requirements that they require a special Harley-only fluid. In fact, Four-Ball Wear Test results indicate that AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil leaves a wear scar 40 percent smaller than Screamin' Eagle Syn3 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil.
According to Harley-Davidson, one of the unique benefits offered by Screamin' Eagle Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is its versatility, recommending its use in the engines, primary chaincases and transmissions of most Harley-Davidson motorcycles, including Evolution XL, Evolution 1340, Twin Cam 88 and 88B, Revolution and Buell models. This feature, however, is not unique. AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil may also be used in the engines, primary chaincases and transmissions of these applications, providing superior lubricating protection in each component.
Harley-Davidson Confirms To AMSOIL That The Use Of Synthetic Motor Oils Other Than Harley-Davidson Oil Does Not Void Warranty Coverage

Dear Mr. Scanlon:
Thank you for your recent letter requesting information on Harley-Davidson's one-year, unlimited mileage warranty when Synthetic Lubricants are used.
Until now, the Motor Company has never supported the use of synthetic products in our vehicles because there had never been any test validations completed on the numerous formulations in HD/Buell motorcycles to determine the viability of using these products on Harley-Davidson products until now.
We have developed a specially formulated synthetic fluid called SYN3. This fluid can be used in Harley-Davidson engines, transmissions and primary chaincases. This product had been exclusively designed for Harley-Davidson and is the only synthetic product tested and certified by Harley-Davidson engineering for use on HD/Buell motorcycles.
The use of a different brand of fluid does not void the one-year, unlimited mileage warranty unless it can be confirmed that the use of such products was the cause of the failure.
Thank you, Mr. Scanlon, for taking the time to write to Harley-Davidson and allowing me to answer your questions.
Sincerely,
Lisa Sagen
