I used to run the Napa Synthetic 15W-50 in my Harley before I sold it. Great oil. No worries.

2018 GoldWing 6 speed manual.
Out Mobil1 0W40 euro FS. Purolator 14612 filter
In same. 3800 miles on oil and filter. I also did an oil analysis at oil change that I did post in the motorcycle used oil analysis section but thought I would list here as well. Also included a virgin analysis of that oil.

2023 Harley Street Glide M8 107 Stage 2
I changed factory break-in oil out at exactly 100 miles.
I used Bel-Ray V-Twin Mineral 20-50 and Harley 5 micron filter as I have always liked Bel-Ray mineral for break-in and thought why not?
I did it again at 500 miles then at 1,000 miles I recently had the dealer do the 1K service including oil. trans and primary but I supplied the fluids. I changed to Bel-Ray Semi Synthetic 20-50 but may go back to Bel-Ray Mineral? May be my imagination but I'm thinking the mineral "MAY" offer just a tad less top end noise than the semi Synthetic, I'm on the fence about any advantage the semi Synthetic may offer with the high heat of the M8? I got some time to think about it.

Out Maxima ProPlus 10w40
In Maxima ProPlus 10w40
Hiflofiltro HF303

I typically do 2000 mile OCI because I feel the shifts start getting a bit rough at that point but the Maxima ProPlus felt fine through about 2800 so I changed at 3000 miles. I've used Motul 300V, Motul 7100, Maxima Extra all in 10w40 in this bike and I think the Maxima ProPlus gave the smoothest shifting the longest. At $45 for a 4qt jug it's a decent deal too.

Try Mobil 1 10w40 4T. 5,000 mile OCI's in my ZRX1200, shifting stays consistent.

Honda Rebel 250 8000 mile Oil Screen cleaning. A lot of people including Honda dealers blow this off. You have to remove the oil pump to properly clean this screen. To remove the oil pump screws, a J.I.S. #3 cross bit must be used with an impact driver. If you try to use a Phillips bit, you will strip the screws. There is no other oil filter on these bikes.

Honda Rebel 250 8000 mile Oil Screen cleaning.

Looks like quite a bit of big pieces of debris on that screen. Is it aluminum or something else?

 

[ZX11Rebel]

This is the first screen cleaning since the bike was new. Aluminum looks like to me. 8,000 miles of clutch material too.
