Most auto parts stores don't carry it because it is "for motorcycles". They can get it though. Not sure but maybe Walmart and/or Kmart carry it.

Re: Mobil 1 V-Twin
I know a few guys that get theirs here..shipping is included...

Before you order take this into consideration...Mobil-1 15W-50 EP was reformulated 3 times in all viscosities.
Oil analysis now shows it to be extremely close in both base (Group IV PAO) and additives and the 15W-50 EP GOLDCAP which is as good or better than the former REDCAP.
While V-Twin has an edge it is much smaller now. So if you can get GOLDCAP you will be in great shape.
V-Twin is worth it if you can get a decent price and availability for it.

The best place to get it is your local Mercedes Benz dealer.
They get the best prices on it too. MB specifies Mobil 1 for all of their products so the dealers can order it for you.

Walmart. Its not always with the regular oils. My walmart has a small motorcycle section, thats where I find it. They usually only have a few Qts. I pick up what they have when I am there.
Its only $7.89 a QT

Re: Mobil 1 V-Twin
Thanks to all. I can get the gold cap easily. Even the Target store down the road has it. I think I'll make a small effort to get the V-Twin today. Thanks Hydrocruiser for the heads up on the gold cap. After I posted yesterday, I again read the Marine Lubrication post.
Thanks, Dave
