Oil prices. Walmart is over $20 cheaper!
For those who change your own oil, be sure to visit Walmart to purchase your oil. I picked up 5 qts of Penzoil Platinum for $18.75. O'reilly auto parts wanted $39.95. Does anyone know why there's such a huge difference? I realize Walmart has the advantage of being a massive company who can dictate the price they pay for products. Great savings for us...

its where I get my oil for both my R1 and the stang. Rotella T6. $20 for 3 gallons and the bike loves it.
nothing fancy for the stang just whichever 5 QT is on sale...speaking of which...its time for an oil change on the stang.

+1, I don't use Royal Purple but they are the only ones that really carry it around here and its marked up through the damn roof! I haven't noticed other chain auto parts stores to be like that, but they for sure are one of the more expensive auto part stores...

Amsoil 10W-40 Motorcycle lube
It will make your gear shifts so smooth, you will have trouble getting it into neutral the first few tries. It's that much easier to shift between 1st and 2nd while using it.
No other cycle lubricant I have used can shift that good. Don't believe me? Try it, I dare you!
You can buy their best Signature Series lubricants for $7.85 per quart, and have it delivered to your door. That's 25% off retail.
Good luck finding a true synthetic at China Mart. Now that Mobil 1 is touting their new VISOM base stock line that is proprietary to them only, I'm confident that even their Extended Performance formulations will eventually, if not already, contain it.
*VISOM - Mobil 1's unique way to highly refine petroleum saving money compared to a true synthetic PAO*

I never bought into the hype of AMSOIL oil. I dont ride track. I can shift the bike butter smooth as it is. R1 forum has an AMSOIL rep that tends to jump into ALL oil threads and trash talk every single oil that has ever been made and always claims AMSOIL is the best of the best of the best. it got old after awhile and he turned a lot of people away from AMSOIL by marketing like that
