Actually any 20W50 motor oil that's rated SH or SJ will work fine as long as it's changed regularly, but Harley recommends using their own brand, Syn3. I recommend using Mobil One 15W50.

Drain the oil while the motor's still hot to catch any suspended particles before they settle and always replace the oil filter when changing oil.

Why is my 98 hd 1200 sportster leaking oil from under the seat?

Oil leaking from under the seat of your 1998 HD 1200 Sportster could be due to a few reasons, such as a faulty gas tank or fuel line, a worn gasket, or an issue with the oil tank vent. It's also possible that the oil is seeping from the rear rocker box or the head gasket. Inspect the area for cracks, loose fittings, or damaged seals, and monitor oil levels to prevent further damage. If the issue persists, consider consulting a mechanic for a thorough examination.
