Stopped by Advance Auto today and noticed they are caring Royal Purple motorcycle oil. When I saw the price ($15+), I started giving some serious thought about the ridiculous price of motorcycle oil. I concede I know nothing of what is involved in manufacturing oils. But the difference between car oil and motorcycle oil just doesn't seem plausible. I guess I'm wondering if the extra money is really buying us a superior oil or have the oil companies decided motorcyclists are idiots or gullible.

Must be the local store, it expensive ($9.99 here) but I haven't seen it for that much.

 

Just get the RP 20-50. I get it locally for $7 a quart.

 

Just bought a gallon of amsoil today for $36.

 

I get the regular 20-50 too.

Never seen it for that much before. Local stores have it for less than $10 a quart.

Been using Redline for the last couple years...get it from Summit Racing.

Amsoil V-Twin 20W50 up in here Canada is going for about $13 - $15 a quart at most retail locations.

 

Might be worth a trip to check out Pep Boys.

 

This is kinda off topic but let me rant...The arabs in the desert with the oil, need our US exports of water to survive. I say shut off their supply of water we give them. and maybe they'll lower our cost per barrel of oil. F%&cking gas over there is $.80 a gallon. Its all a conspiracy.
