If you added a liter to the bike, I hope you overfilled it. A liter is half what the bike holds!
To check the oil, put the bike on the center stand after riding it to get it warm, then let it sit for a few minutes and see where the level is in the sight glass. It should be between the two lines on the sight glass. Note where it is and turn your bike 180 degrees and look at it again. If your floor is level it should be in the same place, but if you have any slope It will be higher or lower. It doesn't take much slope to make big changes. Just kinda average out the two sides.
As for the oil, Synthetic is OK as long as it's motorcycle. Do not put car oil in a bike, particularly an aircooled one. there are additives in car oils that you don't want in a bike. They will soon make your clutch slip and cause other nefarious deeds.
I use the Mobil 15-50 V-Twin oil, too It works fine and I get it for $10.00 a qt at Autozone.
