Can you use syn oil on a road King?
I was told that you should not use a syn oil (20W50) if your m/c has only used a HD 20W50 oil. I have a 2001 Road King with about 13000 miles. I would think that I could change to a sys oil with not problems. Thanks in Advance Thanks for the info. Welcome to the forum Jim, do some research and you’ll switch.
