Must be a Mobile, Alabama local brand.

Mobil 1 motorcycle oil is a good oil.
I often see it in Walmart. It is in the oil section, but not mix together with the oil used for auto. You need to look around that area for it.

Mobil 1 is great oil......but, skip the 20w 50, and go with this. Additive package is very good, and Walmart has it in 5 qt. jugs for $22.88.

Just went from the 15-50 to the 20-50 and the 20-50 is better.

I used it for a while and my top-end was noisier than when I used other oils. Not sure why, may be this is a thinner oil?

Hmmm, better in what way?

No top end noise and lifter doesn't bleed down.

I run it in all my cars. Checked my CR-V valve lash at 100K. Looked like new under the cover. The intake was dead on. Exhaust about .001 tight.

I run Mobile 1 15W-50 in the bike. Fifty K on it. Still runs like new. I use Formula + straight weight non detergent gear oil in other two holes. No filters, so you do not want a detergent oil in them.

A point to consider; perhaps its important, perhaps not:

ZDDP is good for engines. Most "automotive" oil blends have had ZDDP levels greatly reduced in order to placate the EPA and preserve catalytic converters. Oils blended specifically for diesel engines and motorcycles remain high in ZDDP. Sadly, these latter oils are rarely on sale at Walmart.
