Well, if you had to you could try some of the Amway Synthetic Oil and get to meet more people that you would really care to, but according to the Mobil-1 website the following are to have Mobil-1 available in my area:

Dyson Synthetic 3W30
Dyson Synthetic 5W50
Mobil 1 Synthetic 0W40
Mobil 1 Synthetic 0W30
Mobil 1 Synthetic 10W30
Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W30

Pennzoil Synthetic 5W50
Quaker State HP Synthetic 10W30

Break down and go to Wally World. Ol' Sam has the Mobil 1 red cap in 15w-50. Works fine at half the price.

Why worry. I only bought the Mobil 1 because it was closer to the house. Just buy the Screaming Eagle Harley oil. It's only about 50 cents more and you can get it at any dealer. It's not worth going high and right about. I think that as long as you stay with the synthetic oil you will be fine.

Im not worried but it just pisses me off a little that Im going to have to hunt where to buy my oil again. You see here in Tn. where I live they sell syn. at wally world but it's not the V-twin and as I already stated they have for no apparent reason pulled it from the Autozone shelf's(VTwin that is)not the regular syn motor oil and I can't see giving $8.75 a qt for HD oil when it's a semi syn. oil anyway's, it's hydrocracked the same as standard Pennzoil, which by the way is a excellent oil, I will look at where 240Deuce said and check that out. Skip I know I could run the redcap but I would prefer to continue with what I started with but I appreciate the advise.

If other stores have it and will continue to sell it as stated by others- I would think the manager can order it in for you...Probably just a slow mover for them- and shelf space is king for those people!
