Re: Engine Oil Poll

I looked all over for Mobil 1 V-Twin and couldn't find any. The NAPA place had Royal Purple, so I got that instead (my brother uses it too).

I thought Houston was an oil town.

Re: Engine Oil Poll

I went with the Amsoil 20W50 Synthetis Oil, that is all the Local Indy Shop had and did not want to wait to have Royal Purple ordered, I just done the 1000 Mile Service, She runs great and will see how the Oil holds up!
