You won't find any "rating" on motorcycle oils. There's no API symbol, maybe just something that says it meets or exceeds a certain rating. But being it isn't certified, it may or may not meet the claimed rating. Even Harleys oil doesn't carry any rating. But, Auto zone usually has Mobil 1 v-twin for around $9.50 a qt. By me they don't carry it at Walmart.,,

You should use only ACME exotic orange squid oil in 12.3-51 1/2 wt. oil. Failure to do so will not only cause bearing skip and void the warranty on your bike but also cause your grandmother to get warts.
