...it's cheap at Walmart and approved for engine use in a Harley by Mobil 1. By putting this on their web page, they pretty much have to stand behind it in your bike.

Question:
Using Mobil 1 15W-50 in Harley-Davidsons
Several independent tests have shown that Mobil 15W-50 is virtually similar
to Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 oil. Since Harleys utilize separate oil supplies
for the primary and tranny, is there any valid reason not to use the 15W-50
in a Harley?

Answer:
As long as the primary and tranny are separate sumps and there is no concern
for clutch performance, then Mobil 1 15W-50 can be used in a Harley.

I live 15 minutes from Frederick Harley and NEVER spend my money there. They got me on some bullshit inspection items a few years back that cost me alot more than what I thought was fair. Definitely agree with the OP as far as them being way more concerned about making a quick dollar over a return customer. F*^* them !!!!
Feel free to ask me how I really feel..............
