I purchased it at the local Walmart a couple of times and then they quit carrying it. Just because of availability I switched over to Mobile V Twin 20/50.

Haven't heard anything about it, what do you think, is it something you want to try any 20/50 will do?

I remember using Castrol back in the early 1960s in racing engines. It was very popular and you could tell if anybody was using it because of the very distinct "aroma" from the exhaust. Once you smelled it, you never forgot it.

I bought some for my next engine oil change, was cheaper than Mobile Vtwin by about $1. They also had enough quarts to do an oil change as they only had 3 quarts of the Mobile stuff on the shelf.
