Newbee here, thanks for letting me join, now you have another HD rider in the mist of the great oil debates LOL
I constantly hear the talking down of Synthetics on HD's you'd have thought HD coming out with the product finally would put some of the myths to rest. However I've heard a new one.
One guy is reporting on boards that the molocules of synthetic are smaller than the molocules of dyno oil, and that's what causes synthetic oil to leak out of the motors. He's making statements that an oil engineer has told him this, and, that if you run synthetic as your motor ages you will develop leaks of course you have to get over 50K on the motor for it to happen.
I thought that leaks in older motors came from synthetic oil acutally not having the seal softeners that dyno oil has in the mix that causes seals to expand, thus filling in areas that dyno oil would get through if the seals/gaskets were of normal properties and not swollen to fill the void.
Any one wish to debunk or confirm this it would be appreciated, love to get some authoritative information thankns.
