Best price on Mobil1 V-twin

Who has the best price for the Mobil1 V-twin oil?

I bought some last year from Autozone which I thought I paid somewhere around $8. I was there the other night and its just shy of $10.

I have not checked Advance, Pepboys or Walmart yet.

It is over $13. a bottle here in Canada. They oils are getting so expensive. What is it that makes a m/c oil so much more than automotive oil. I know that we are limited production. We get screwed on tires, batteries, brake pads, filters and insurance. About the only thing that we pay the same as a car is sparkplugs.

The local Wal Marts and Auto Zone's around here dont sell it.There is a mc accessory store near my work that has it but its around $13.50 a qt.!
I ended buying 12 qts. from Amazon at about $9.50 a qt. with no tax and free shipping.

I have seen the Mobile One 15W50 full synthetic at Walmart. I believe it was like $26.00 for a gallon jug there. I don't think your crankcase will be able to tell the difference between the 15W50 and the 20W50

There is no such thing as a good price for M-1 oil.

I got a case (6qts) for 42 bucks from a local industrial oil supply company we use at work on Monday.I asked on a whim if they carried it and she didnt think they did but looked itup in the computer and said she had 3 cases on hand.

$8.97 per quart at Wal Marts in OK. My favorite shop in OKC, Freedom Cycles, sells it for $0.02 more, and I buy it there to support the shop.

A little more than a picture. I see other links to Mobil 1 site and looked a little deeper for an answer.

"The second area of concern for motorcycle engine oils is that they tend to shear (breakdown viscosity) more quickly than a typical passenger car. Mobil 1 motorcycle oils are designed to provide exceptional protection against viscosity loss."

Lets please not start that again.....
Peace of mind is worth all the $$$$ in the world so get what gives you peace of mind.
The thread is about best price for Mobil 1 not another you're right and you're wrong Amsoil thread.

This post needs to be memorized. Read Post #1
