Another Oil Thread

I went to Walmart to get oil for my pickup and notice that the have Mobil 1 V-Twin motorcycle oil, 20-50, but also they have Quicksilver V-Twin motorcycle oil, 20-50. I have always used Quicksilver products in my boats but was the first I have seen for motorcycles, both brands were full synthetic and $7.94 per quart.
Has anyone used Quicksilver?

If they're the same price I would go with the mobil 1. If quicksilver is for an air cooled v-twin Im sure it would also be fine. Great price, mobil1 is 9.99 here

I bought the gal jug and plan on running it this summer. The specs on the bottle are correct and at just over $6/qt should be a value, it is wet clutch approved. This oil is in a separate marine oil section, not by the MC or automotive oil section. Quicksilver is the product line of parts and accessories from Mercury Marine Corp. They are much like the HD of the boat power industry.(the black motors)
