Is it necessary to use Amsoil filter, or can I stay with the HD filter ?

There is no necessary relationship between oil brands and filter brands.  A good filter is a good filter.  Don't worry about the name on the box.  Use any good filter you please.

Thx- that what I thought. Me thinks the Amsoil rep. Was just trying get another $18. :-p

I also use K&N oil filters.
I have seen comparisons between the Harley filter, Amsoil, and K&N.
They both perform better than the Harley filter.

Here's a little test for all you "experts."  Put a cup of 20W-50, and a cup of water in a flask and shake it up.  The twain will separate.  Put a cup of syn, and a cup of water in a flask and shake that up.  Yeah, yeah I know what you're thinkin'.  There is no water in a V-Twin.  That's not my point.  My point is, syn is junk.  Don Tilley demonstrated that tid-bit of information to me.  There endeth the lesson.  Later--HUBBARD

Please, continue the lesson and explain why that test is indicative of syn's junkiness.

You're missing the "BIG PICTURE".........My brother in law works for one of the big oil refineries and tested various oils against the synthetic products and it proved that straight 40wt is the best.
Does that leave the door open to those of you with "cabin fever"?? LOL

No question, straight 40 weight IS the best.  It's really good for keeping down the dust on those bare spots in the back yard.
