laugh all you want but I have found the quietest oil yet. Valvoline dyno straight 50 wt. yep I have tried them all in the last 4 years and 70,000 miles and if I had not heard it I would dismiss it, but it is oh so quiet that I had to post even tho I was reluctant. oil temps have stayed the same, mpg the same, everything the same but no more tick tick tick. amsoil, mobil 1 20-50, rotella (a distant 2nd quiest) harley 20-50 syn and dyno etc.

32000 miles with predominantly Valvoline 50wt. At temp, it's just as thin as 20w50 (do your viscosity homework) and has no polymers like multiviscosity oils have, which break down and begin decreasing your viscosity and protection at higher temps, which is why HD recommends it over 80* for added protection. WHEN you run 50wt is the difference of the correct oil, or the incorrect oil. Simply read your owner's manual....
Once the PA temps drop below a daily 60* high and fall starts, I go back to 20w50, for the cooler months and through the winter months of riding.... there's no such thing as "winterizing" at my house......
