I don't even see the Series 2000 on the Amsoil website anymore unless you are talking about the RD50 dominator oil.

Yes it is gone but I am interested how the Amsoil 20w50 Motorcycle oil compares to it. Nobody has posted analysis data on the new Amsoil RD50 Dominator oil that replaced the Series 2000.

I can't find the tech data at this point for the series 2000. I think the closest thing they have now is the RD50 (Dominator 20/50 racing oil)

Default Mobil1 V Twin in any Missouri Walmarts?

All the Walmarts I have tried in Missouri do not carry the Mobil 1 V Twin.

Are there any Walmarts in Missouri that carry the Mobil1 V Twin oil?

Here's the best I can answer this question comparing the RD50 by Amsoil to the MCV:

Kinematic Viscosity on the MCV is thicker which means the thickness of an oil between the pison/rings and cylinder wall basically.

Viscosity Index in the MCV is lower. Viscosity Index measures how much the oil is going to change viscosity due to temperature. The higher the number of the Viscosity Index, the less it's going to change.

Noack Volatility is higher on the RD50. Basically this means that the lower number is better because the higher the number means it's going to evaporate more and not last as long.

Basically my understanding of the RD50 is it's for racing. It's meant to be changed alot more then a "standard" oil; however, in that short time that the RD50 is in the engine the RD50 could do a better job of lubricating. If it was me I would run the MCV over the RD50 because I wouldn't want to change the oil after every trip to Havasu.

For general use I like the Amsoil MCV as it has excellent anti-corrosion additives as does V-Twin. MCV 20W50- = M-1 V-Twin from all the tests I have seen.

Well that is good news.

You noted before that the M1 V Twin hot viscosity had a greater margin than the Ansoil Series 2000 20W50 which was borderline for W50 rating. Does the Amsoil MCV 20W50 have the same hot viscosity margin as the M1 V Twin 20W50? I still experience high oil temperatures during extended WOT running and a higher hot viscosity margin is desireable to me to keep the oil pressure up during such times.

Can you share any of the Amsoil MCV oil analysis reports or indicate where they might be obtained/viewed?

Well thanks Ken! I will PM my Email address to you.

I did not know there was such a restriction. I admit that I am lazy about reading fine print. I think I posted some a while back. I will avoid doing in the future.
