Try a WalMart or an Auto Zone. If they don't have it on the shelf, ask. Often Auto Zone will have it hidden in the back. Also, if you find some of the Mobil 1 15w-50 car oil, use it instead of the over-priced V-Twin stuff. When I had them both tested, there was very little difference between them, and definitely not enough to justify the price difference.

Thanks I can find the 15W-50. Is that what they call the extended service oil? Sorry about the double post, AOL just does that to me sometimes.
It really is time to change the oil now, went on a 200 mile ride this morning before it got too hot, the miles are now 14,950.

Yeah, they call it extended service. It has a gold colored cap. Sometimes you'll hear it called "Mobil 1 15w-50 gold cap" to differentiate it from the older "red cap" version.

No sweat on the double post; I just sent it to the "Recycle Bin".
