I get my Mobil 1 V-twin for $7+change at Autozone. In my area Autozone and AdvanceAuto carry it. If you don't have them in your area they should be able to order it for you.

Yea, Auto Zone and Advance were my two first stops I got a big NO GOT...I didn't think to ask about ordering oil, the problem with ordering anything liveing in our area , South Western Ohio, is that we are geographically located a week to ten working days from the rest of the world, If you know what I mean.

Try the redline products at www.myoilshop.com use the 20w50 in the engine, MTL in the primary, Shockproof Heavy in the trans. Redline is the only GroupV oil out there and exceeds all the group IV's like amsoil and mobil1. My $.02
