I seem to be posting too much today, but that's what happens when I get down time. Came back from a half hour ride after lunch and checked my oil just because. It's showing just a hair above the ADD QT mark and I don't know why. I'm thinking that means I need to add a quart? 10,000 mile service is 1000 miles off, but the nearest source for HD Syn-3 is 35 miles from me. Should I be concerned about riding it anywhere?

If it’s not Below the add a quart I wouldn’t worry about driving 35 miles…
If that is all the oil you have used since your last change you are doing good
If it was mine I would ride to get oil and filter and change it now
I have never used the Syn 3, it is NOT a full synthetic oil, but that is another story for another day

No it is not, it is a group 3, semi synthetic but the way advertising is they can make the claim that is a synthetic, even tho it should be called a hydrocabon cracked blend

I am currently using HD360( 20-50) dino oil, I used Quicksilver 20-50 Synthetic before but this 114 M8 rattles on the top end so I switched back to HD dino

Once again the way the laws are written HD can say it is a synthetic even tho it is a blend
Castrol oil did the same thing
They are really both semi synthetic group 3 oils a 60/ 40 blend
I insist on putting oil in all my Harley-Davidson engines.The owners manual's recommend I do so. I urge everyone to put oil in their engines.
