Default Amsoil and where to buy

Hello All, I'm looking to change oil in all 3 holes and I have read through just about every thread here on the subject along with talking to a couple dealers and everyones answer is different. I am not looking to open that can all over again.

I have decided on Amsoil in the following holes:
Motor will be Amsoil MCV 20W-50
Tranny will be Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-90
Primary will be Amsoil 10W-40

All I'm looking for now is where to buy this stuff? No stores localy carry it (I'm near Cleveland, OH). Amsoil has a web site but supposedly you can geta 30% discount from dealers (from what i read). Any advice on where to buy this stuff from? Not sure if you are able to post link or names on here, if not please PM me with a good lead.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You Can become a Preferred customer for 20.00 Get it shipped to your door . (I use 20/50 in all 3 holes on the 3 bikes). That is the only way to get a discount. Amsoil dose not sell to stores like walmart ect . The do sell to some privately owned part stores. It is to protect there dealer network.

My local indy carries it, but I buy the 20W-50 from my local NAPA for less $$ - $9.95/qt. If you're not in a hurry (like needing it tomorrow), Dr. V-TWIN here on the forum can hook you up also.

Motor will be Amsoil MCV 20W-50
Tranny will be Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-90

I use Bel Ray for the trans and no wine or clank and I can find neutral. I use Motor Factory® Primary Case Lube in the primary. because Amsoil has gone up so much I just switched to Mobil 1 for vtwin and it works as good. I have 49,000 miles in about 2.5 years and it runs great and no debris in the oil changes.
