Default TOTAL BS, A Rant about Mobile 1 Vtwin

So I ride to my local Wally World...much to my displeasure only to find that they no longer sell Mobil 1 Vtwin! WTF I say to myself. Ok, ok, Ill go back to my place and see if I can find some other stores that have it.. Ill pay the price difference. Yeah according to my "search" it appears that NO ONE IN 50 MILES OF MY LOCATION (Orange county CA) sells it!

Now Im no smart guy, but how can you sell a product with out actually SELLING IT? I know that I can buy it online, but that does me no good until it gets delivered to me.

Argg..... very disappointed in Mobil. Awesome oil.... IF you can find it. Might just switch to Amsoil.

Hard to find it up here in LA county too. I finally gave up after 3 places and bought some castrol 20W-50 at pep boys.

Autozone. Sometimes you have to ask, but it's there.

As a professional chemist, let me assure you there's almost no difference between Mobil1 V-Twin 20:50 and Mobil1 15:50, and realizing it has more V-Twin additives than HD's Syn3, and costs about $21 at Wal-Mart for a 5-quart bottle, just buy it and use it inyour Hog...

Anubiss,

Is that Castrol 20-50 special for air-cooled engines, or just regular 20-50?

Thanks

I get mine at the Mobil distributor. Look them up in the Yellow pages.

If it weren't for them, I'd have to go 2000 miles.
