60wt

Since I will be doing an oil change on my Dyna before the trip, my question is can I run straight shovel 60 wt oil in it and do an oil change when I get home. I will have traveled approx 2000 miles +? My thinking is that the 60 wt will hold up in the hotter temps!

I would think straight 60w would be hard on the engine at startup.

Not a full synthetic 60 weight like Amsoil. Dino oil yes, especially on cooler morning start ups.
