Mobil 1 15/50

 

Just a side note, Gary. You mentioned $4 Mobile 1 at Farm and Fleet, then you mentioned Amsoil at Harley dealers. Somehow you forgot to mention the price of Amsoil at the Harley dealer. The Harley dealers in my area charge $12-$14 per quart for Amsoil. Maybe you should have bought a few more cases of Mobile 1. JMO

 

Mike, I didn't mention the price of Amsoil at the dealer because it's understood that - - - IT'S EXPENSIVE.

I buy it buy the 4 gal case direct from Amsoil - the warehouse is a couple blocks from my office so no shipping and handling and very convenient. I never run out and I always carry a quart when I go on long trips(never needed to use it yet, but a friend needed it once). The reason I buy so much is because I have a lot of vehicles and I sell it to friends and chapter members at my cost.

I would have bought more Mobil1 if they had more (I went to 2 different stores to get what I wanted) and there was a limit on the rebate. Even without the rebate it's still about the same price as Amsoil. Farm & Fleet is a great place, but so damn far from me.

Have a great New Year.

 

And, right back at ya. Happy New Year, Gary!!

 

Use HD Syn3 but will probably switch to more affordable Mobil or Amsoil next change.

 

I've been riding bikes since I was about 13 and I'm 66 now. I always rode Electra Glides until stating to have balance problems and switched over to a Triglide for Ma's sake. The engine oil I've seen the least wear from is M-1 15W50 and Red-Line Shock Proof Heavy for gear oil (available @ boat dealers). If you can find better oils than these two I'd sure appreciate yer bringin it to my attention. The piston skirts and cyclinder walls just look too good for me to switch to anything else after high milage (70,000-75,000) with no break downs.

Been a fan of Schaeffer products for many years. Amsoil braggadocio about how they've been in business since 1972...Schaeffer has been around since 1839. Whatever your own personal benchmark happens to be when it comes to choosing lubricants, you are doing yourself a disservice if you've never explored their products imho. And no, I'm not affiliated with them in any way, shape, or form, other than being an extremely satisfied customer.

 

Never heard of Schaeffer. Do they have motorcycle 20/50 grade? If people think Amsoil is hard to find this has got to be harder. Do any brick and mortar stores carry it or is it something you have to order on line?

Then again, I never heard of Red Line either until I got into Harleys.

Amsoil's been in business longer then 1972 - they just started selling syn oil to the general public at that time. They were initially in the aircraft engine field way before that.

Was Schaeffer selling syn oil back in 1839? When did they start making and selling syn oil to the car buying public?

I'm always interested in new/old products and their history.

 

Royal purple 20-50 in the front and back holes and redline in the tranny.
Wouldent hesitate to run Mobil-1, it's time tested and proven
