I'm having a heck of a time finding motorcycle specific oil in my area for all three of my bikes. Plan to make the switch to 0w-40 Mobile 1 for my TE. Was wondering where ya'll find it regularly in CA?
WalMart and Autozone both carry it in Oregon. Walmart has jugs and Autozone has liter bottles. ...Its the European car formula.
Thanks. I tried Walmart, and O'reiley's. They both only had 10w-40 Mobile 1 Motorcycle oil. In my KLR I use Rotella T6, but have heard good things about Mobile 1 for the Husky's. EDIT: Oh. Folks are using the Synthetic Car stuff. As long as there's no friction modifiers, then you're good.
The 0w40 you are looking for is a car oil not bike specific but works good. I use it. It says euro formula.
This is the jug. Buy the 5 QT container at Wal-Mart and save a lot over quart bottles, and other stores. I just waited till I saw a big Wal_Mart while driving and grabbed one since no WM locally.
Wallyworld $22.47/5qts. $4.49/qt I came on this forum a year ago first talking about 0W40, everyone thought I was loony.
Tell ya what. The Rotella T6 is a synthetic (non-motorcycle) oil. My KLR never shifted (i.e. changing gears was crunchy and sometimes hard to go from one to the next) as smooth as when I started using the Rotella. I'm sold on the synthetic oils.
Yakima, Washington. Walmart, no jug, quart is $7.74. O'Reilly, 5 qt jug, $36.99. 2 days ago. Tinken's California prices must be hallucinatory.
