V-twin is getting hard to find up here. One local distributor needs $12 per quart. Where are you finding it in bulk and approximately how much is going for?

It's probably already in this thread somewhere but as far as dino oil, how does the Vavloline VR1 50W race oil rank these days? Supposedly they're high in Zinc and phosphorous???? The off-road Vavloline race oil is supposedly even higher.

You really don't hear anybody talk bad about the VR1 product lines. It's just a difference between the dino and synthetic oils. As far as finding out exactly how much zinc of phosphorus is in a certain oil, that's hard info to find in most cases because that's like Valvoline telling everybody exactly how much of what is in there products.

Much better off using 15W-40 Rotella. More ZDP and detergency as well. |
I got a couple PM's about which conventional oils would "I" use...
Merc 25W-40 Rotella 15W-40 Delo 15W-40 Castrol GTX 20W-50 Kendall 20W-50 Penzoil SAE 40 Penzoil 20W-50 Bradd Penn 15W-40 or 20W-50 I think Bradd Penn HP is one to strongly consider! http://www.bradpennracing.com/Zinc.html http://www.bradpennracing.com/Products/SAE15W40.html |
Got a PM as to what one or two conventional oils I would use.
#1 Bradd Penn 20W-50 #2 Merc 25W-40 How's that?:lolhit: |

If you can't find it...then this is "equivalent" from Amsoil and very easy to get. If you get an associate membership (cost of $10.00.. it will allow 20% off your purchases for six months". With the 20% discount (in gallons with discount) final price is $ 8.43/qt...that's a deal. Both V-Twin and Amsoil Motorcycle Oil have outstanding anti-rust properties...this allows storage for extended periods without fogging..incase you forget of course. ;) http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/mcv.aspx I am also interested in how the Amsoil 20w50 Motorcycle Oil compares to the old Amsoil Series 2000 20W50 racing oil for which I have my own analysis report that I posted earlier. |
