I am planning to do my own oil change and I am thinking about trying Mobil 1. I have a 08 EGC with 3000+ miles and don't know if I want to go synthetic yet, maybe want to wait till after the 10,000mi mark.
My question is where do I purchase Mobil 1 for my Harley? I don't think Harley sells it.

 

you should be able to get M1 20W-50 V-tWIN at auto zone ,also m1 makes a 15w-50 ,thats what i'll be useing next oil change ,its 23.00 at walmart for a 5quart jug . alot of the older guys use it and sware by it . one word of caution i had the 20w-50 in my primary for awhile and think it might be a tad to slippery for the clutch .ive since changed it out and went with hd formula plus clutch seems to grap better now

You shouldn't be using the automotive Mobil one. The Mobil 1 Vtwin fromula isn't available in the 5 qt jug that I am aware of. I ran the V-twin 20-50 in all 3 holes on my 99 cop bike and had no issues with clutch slippage.

 

I use Mobil 1 V-Twin but may very well switch to the cheaper Mobil 1 15-50 next time. Lots of guys run it with no issues whatsoever.

 

Just remember CHEAPER is not always better !! You could have gotten a CHEAPER motorcycle but you didn't !!!

 

I've heard that too stro, but don't know if I'm willing to take that chance or not. I have been using Mobil 1 V Twin for a while and the bike runs a lot cooler with it, about 20 degrees. 08 HD you can put in synthetic any time you like, you don't have to wait until 10 k to do it either. All HD sells is citgo oil,(Hugo Chavez) Years ago it used to be sunoco, but now so I'm told it is citgo. I could be wrong, but I was told this by a person who works at the stealership.

 

Remember the engine oil is not running in the primary or trans. Regular Mobil 1 is fine for the engine. Heck, HD allows regular (dino) to be used and synthetic is is supposed to be far better.

The V-twin version just costs you twice as much.

 

Mobil 1 15w-50 in a 5qt jug at Walmart is $24, that will do your motor and primary.
Mobil 1 75w90 gear lube is $8, that will do your tranny.

Do the synthetic oil now..........no need to wait until 10000 miles, get the good stuff in there as soon as you can.

No need to wait, go ahead and switch to the good stuff.
