Todays engine oils are formulated with a balanced package of additives that allows the base oil have extended life, cleans the engine components and reduces wear. Adding additives is a crap shoot at best. When the additives get used up, the base oil ages faster. Better filters (air and oil) also help extend oil and engine component life. Synthetics do work better, last longer and take heat better. Keep it clean and changed.

We have videos that cover the M8, but not the Dyna(sorry Softail M8) specifically.

Screamin Eagle oil is excellent but there are no added benefits. We like Spectro Oils. Premium oil from an excellent American company.
