Just stopped by the local Advance auto parts store and they had Valvoline 20w-50w motorcycle oil on sale for $1.99 a qt. I know it's not synthetic just regular dino oil. They also had synthetic on sale all were $2.00 off a quart. So needless to say I had to pick some up. Just thought I would pass this along to help my fellow riders to save a few bucks. Never tried it so I guess we'll see how good it is.

 

Using Dino oil too. Will pick some up. Thanks for the info

 

..every once in a while you can save money even if you're using syn by nailing a sale like that and using dino for the next oil change...it aint gonna hurt anything to switch types once in a while...the only diff is a shorter change cycle while runnin the dino...but with syn now we're talking $45.00-$50.00 oil changes do-it-yourself, versus maybe $18.00 using $2.00 dino(4 qt purchase, plus HD oil filter)...hey,every bit helps for some folks short on bucks..thanks for the heads up

 

Changed mine yesterday, 3 change since new, 2nd with Dino, syn 3 had a lot of engine noise, Dino less noise, 3k changes, happy motor.

 

Will pick up a case for winter changes

 

" Winter Changes ??"
Only things I change in the winter is my underwear and my attitude......

You guys that can ride year-round have it tough
I'm envious..............

 

Grrrrr!

 

Look at it this way, we are kind of screwed, living in paradise gets boring after 30 years, only been here 11 so I still have 19 to go before I start getting bored.

Wont use dino in summer here, sure it will work just paranoid about heat.

 

Saw that O'Reillys has it for $3.99/qt....even thats a good price.

 

I talked to the manager and he said the sale is going on until the end of the month. I bought 8 qts. and saved $16.00. I will be going back before the end of the month to get more.
