With Maxum4 Extra I used 15w50. With Mobil1 I use 20w50. Except that the last time I was in Wal-Mart, they only had 2 quarts left of M1 20w50 and several of M1 10w40. Since she takes more than 2 quarts, I bought the two of 20w50 and one of 10w40. I'm pretty sure that'll be fine. And yeah,
www.bobistheoilguy.com
is very good info.

Rotella-T Synthetic has no "friction modifiers" and is about $15/ gallon at WallyMart. The possible(?) downside is it's only available as 10-40w. I have a friend with a 1200 Sportster who tried the Rotella-T and then the V-twin 20-50w- he said its quieter with the 20-50w........? (HD recommends 20-50w.)
Rotella-T comes in both dino and synth versions. I've tried them both, and to be honest, the butt-dyno, the ear-dyno, the shifter foot-dyno, and the look-at-how-nasty-the-oil-looks-after-1000-miles dyno really detect no difference. On an air-cooled engine I feel better putting in the synth, but that's just mental. I think.
Maybe...?
...who said that?

At my local Wal-Mart it's about $8 a gallon and it's 15w40. It's about $9 a gallon at the local Autozone for the same thing.
