Default how much does your dealer charge for oil

I was wondering how much the going rate for synthetic oil is at various dealers. I attempted to find some at the local Autozone but did not have any luck. I needed to get the oil change done and just paid the dealer prices. $10.00 per quart.

Are you sure it's only a gallon jug?

Around here we get it in the 5-quart containers for about $21.00.....

Comes out to only around $4.25 a quart.

Good stuff, and it rates right up there with the $10.00 a quart V-Twin stuff on UOA's...

My dealer wants too much for their stuff, so that's why I go with the 5 quart jug of the Mobil 1 15W50 for like $20-25.

I also get the Mobil 1 15-50 at Wally world. It's about $24 for the 5 quart jug around here.

Does the stuff you guys buy from walmart say it is for V-Twin? I have not looked there. As far as affording it just because I own a harley....Really? Maybe I should have payed sticker price for the bike too.
