Unhappy Mobil 1 - Not compatible

I have been using Mobil 1 20W50 full synthetic V-Twin motorcycle oil for all three holes. Today, I checked the Walmart website, and it tells me that Mobil 1 is not compatible for my 2000 Heritage Springer. It is also not compatible with my 2006 Heritage. What changed, if anything?

Better yet ask about it on HDF. What could could possibly go wrong?

Why don't you check the Mobil 1 website and see what they say? Why would you trust Walmart's website to be accurate about oil?

I already have. It is the same oil sold by Walmart. The V-Twin 20W50 oil on the Mobil website states it is a motorcycle formulated for 4 stroke engines. It has a drop down menu, but it is only for cars. There is no way to find out about motorcycle specifics. Under "places to buy," their website lists Walmart.

Its a 20/50 V-Twin motorcycle oil. It'll work just fine in your V-Twin motorcycle.

It says the same thing for my ‘14 Ultra Limited and ‘20 Heritage Classic.

Through extensive testing, the engineering team at Wal Mart has determined that Mobil-1 V Twin oil is not compatible with your machine, why would anyone question this highly respected engineering resource?
