Default Maybe switching to M1vt

I have 09 street glide in currently running Klotz American v-twin and I love it but it's getting pretty pricey.. Availability is not an issue I live close to the klotz plant. All you guys running M1 have any complaints? Anyone run Klotz that wouldn't run the M1.. Autozone has the M1 on sale now for 8.99 compared to $12-13 a quart for the Klotz

Been using the Mobil for last 10 yrs, no problems at all. $8.99 is a good deal, grab some....

Mobil 1 V twin is great oil. I took it another step and went with Mobil 1 15W50 from Walmart. $25 for a 5 qt jug. I use it in the engine and the V twin in the primary. My Road King went 113,000 miles when I had it rebuilt due to lifters getting noisy and wanted the excuse to bump it up to a 103. My indy that did the rebuild was surprised at how well the engine looked. He pushes dino oil. He said it was the first time he'd ever reused a cam plate. He took all the measurements and said it was still well within spec. He said the worst wear he found was in the valve guides. Normal wear in the cylinders.

I like the Mobil 1 products. I used to use Mobil 1 gear lube in the tranny but switched to redline.
