Using synthetic oil in a 1985 Goldwing can be beneficial, as it offers better protection and performance under extreme conditions compared to conventional oil. However, it's essential to check the owner's manual for any specific recommendations and to ensure that the engine seals are compatible with synthetic oil, as older engines might not have been designed for it. If you've previously used conventional oil, transition gradually by mixing the two. Always consult a mechanic if you're unsure.
Yes you can use a Full Synthetic Oil in your GoldWing. I recommend Amsoil 10W-40 Advanced Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MCF) Hope This Helps

Honda does not require Synthetic oil for the Goldwing. So it's up to you. BTW: I have never heard of a wing dying due to an oil related problem. Mine is still running strong at 110,000 miles changed every 8k per Honda.

3.2 Liters or 3.4 U.S. quarts. That is with the oil filter changed also.
Honda 10w40 works well
If it is the synthetic blend, you should change the oil every 3,000 miles. If it is a full synthetic, you should change the oil every 5,000 miles.
To find the engine oil fill location on a 1985 Honda Goldwing 1200A, first locate the left side of the engine. Look for a cap labeled "Oil" or an oil symbol, typically situated near the top of the engine. You may also find a dipstick attached to the cap, which will help you check the oil level. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions and details.
That would be 345cc or ( 11.7 oz ) Be sure equal amount in each fork.
I use Motul 10w40. Good for the engine, clutch and stator. Check with your Honda dealer.
Oil drain plug is located at the back of the engine, right side, ( foot brake side ) towards the bottom of the engine.
