Has anyone tried the Valvoline full synthetic 20w50 motorcycle oil. I'm about ready to do a oil change and saw it on the shelf beside the Mobil one.

Nope, I run Mobil 1 but I'm sure valvoline will do the same thing as all oils do.

Im a long time user of M1 20-50 but I couldn't find it last time so I used Valvoline Synth 20-50 MC oil + about 8oz of Lucas Oil Stabilizer ( which Ive used for years). After 1500 miles, no specific issues or complaints. It seems to be doing its job. Temps & noise levels are about normal for my bike. I recall I paid 6.99 per quart at Wallyworld.

I use good ole Mobil 1 V-twin in all three holes. As far a valvoline Im sure it's fine. I try to stick with one oil simply to keep the additive packages the same each change.
But on the funny side, why not use Amsoil? It's the goddess of oils and can cure any mechanical problem you have and gives you more HP than a turbo charger, etc etc, lol
