Default Where to Find Mobil1 V-Twin 20W50 in Canada

Hi all. I used to be able to buy Mobil1 V-Twin 20W50 in Canadian Tire stores but they have stopped carrying it. I have had real difficulty finding outlets that carry that oil. I was wondering if anyone in Canada (generally) and Calgary (specifically) know of outlets for this oil. Please don't use this thread as a forum to convince me to use another brand.
Thanks

Hi Gunnar, I found out that Walmart in Canada has stopped carrying that oil also. Appearantly, when they decided to clear out remaining stock they priced it at $4.00 a litre! (man, I wish I got in on that deal). I have asked Oils Unlimited to try and bring it in, but it appears they are having difficulty getting it also. Mobil oils is a product line of Exxon oil and Esso. When I tried to contact Mobil oil, I could only find their dept. that sells Mobil memorabilia like T-shirts etc. It seems that Mobil is in no rush to sell their product (obviously they're not hurting). Who ever their Canadian sales rep is must be out on the golf greens rather than drumming up business finding new distributors when major accounts like Canadian Tire and Walmart drop this line of the oil he or she is responsible for. I also have had no luck with any of the specialty motorcycle shops like Destination Cycle in Airdrie or Precision Frameworks. Let me know if you find any and I'll do the same for you. I may have to buy Syn 3 for this oil change but I haven't given up on the search yet. I've tried Amsoil in the past, but the bike ran hotter and the engine made more noise than with Mobil 1 V-twin oil.

Same here in Nova Scotia. Can't find it anywhere. Guess I will have to try to find someone to drag it back from the US. A bit inconvenient but may be the only option.

Hi fellas: I get my Mobil 1 Vtwin oil from Vern's Cycle here in Owen Sound, Ontario (519 371 8361). he gets it shipped in directly thru S&S Cycle in Wisconsin.
Contacting S&S, for a dealer in Alberta, any sales and or service, either should be able to supply in 6 packs (litres).
S&S does have online sales too, so you may be able to buy directly thru their web.
I've been using Mobil ! Vtwin 20-50 in my S&S 124 for 5 yrs, and will continue to do so thru S&S. FWIW Fastrider124

If you can't find 20-50 you should consider using 15-50, lots of us do.

Well I done gone and given up on finding M1 V twin in Calgary. Called or visited just about every dealer/shop I could think of. Allot of my buddies use Amsoil and have had good luck so I will give it a try.

I had he same issue here in BC.
Last trip to the US I went to O'reilly's picked up the last 2 cases they had in stock, they had it on for $7 a liter plus you get a Mobil 1 filter for free with each case.
I figured it was a local issue.
