Quicksilver 20-50 full synthetic @ Walmart for $26 a gallon. How's that for math?

Quicksilver oil is a product of Mercury Marine. They cast crankcases for Harley in the 90's. They know more than a little bit about air cooled v-twins. I'd rather use their oil than Syn3 & you can't beat the price.

I bought 4 yesterday and thought I got shafted at $1 each, that’s like buy one get one free compared to your stealership.

do the Amazon o rings have an Amazon logo instead of the HD logo?

How is the Mercury Quicksilver oil working in your bike's transmission and primary? BTW, Mercury marine engines are water cooled.

I would think buying the oil change package would be cheaper. But in this case it seems not. Just a heads up for you all so you can save a couple bucks.
Someones gotta pay for shipping, and I guess that’s the $7.

Trip to Walmart 4 quarts of Mobil 1 v-twin 20w 50 And a quick buzz up the road for a chrome Harley oil filter = $48 bucks, And on the way home a Wendy’s chicken pecan salad and ya break even.

And when ya get home the oils all nice and hot ready to change .....

Drain oil - Eat salad - Drink beer

I inferred from Tommy C's post that he was using marine motor oil in his Harley.
Motorcycle oil that meets the JASO MA2 spec is GTG.

Arnt most marine engines water cooled ?

So why go using an oil designed for water cooled outboard’s in a motor bike ?.

I was referring to the Quicksilver 20-50 synthetic motorcycle oil formulated for air cooled v-twins, not marine lubricants. Sorry I wasn't more specific.

I wasn't recommending one oil over another. It was an example of bulk pricing, which related to the thread topic, and the OP's desire to give everyone a heads up.

One mention of the word "oil", and it soon becomes a debate, as evidenced by the direction this thread has taken.
