    28 bucks... i totally believe that when it comes to oils etc price shouldn't be the deciding factor, but fuck when  a business is ripping you off because of geographics or lack of that product in the area that totally sux...this is the prob i have had trying to source mobil 1, when you do manage to get some its way too expensive.  So anyone know of any buys interstate maybe that will ship.... mmmm, maybe i should start selling it online, do a deal with mobil... become an oil dealer..... thanx for the info cruzees..

    Nelson

    Bought some from Oil Distributors a while back, cost $120 for a box, with each box containing 6x1 qrt bottles. They only sell it by the box as well.

    hi dude,

    just thought i would point out some differences between mobil 1 v twin and mobil 1 for cars... not much but important, instead of a whole lot of crap in my words i have just cut and pasted a whole lot of crap from mobil...

    So how is Mobil 1 for passenger cars different from Mobil 1 for motorcycles?
    First, let's be clear about Mobil 1's overall benefits compared to those of conventional motor oils, whether for passenger cars or motorcycles:
    • Superior long-term engine protection.
    • Superior high-temperature stability.
    • Excellent low-temperature starting.
    • Outstanding engine performance.
    • Low volatility/low oil consumption
    It's a little hard to generalize about the difference between Mobil 1 passenger-car motor oils and Mobil 1 motorcycle oils. That's because not all viscosities of Mobil 1 passenger-car oils have the same levels of zinc and phosphorus, and there are even greater differences among the three Mobil 1 motorcycle oils. In general, Mobil 1 motorcycle oils have:
    • Additive packages balanced differently for motorcycle engine and transmission operation. For passenger vehicles, fuel economy and emission system protection are higher priorities. These require low phosphorus systems and the use of friction modifiers. Motorcycle oils do not require friction modifiers for fuel economy and for better clutch friction less/no friction modifier is optimum. Motorcycle oils allow the use of higher levels of antiwear additives such as ZDDP (phosphorous).

    What are the overall advantages of Mobil 1 motorcycle oils?
    In addition to the overall benefits listed above – specifically, high-temperature stability and low volatility/low oil consumption – Mobil 1 synthetic motorcycle oils also offer superior anti-corrosion performance compared to conventional motor oil, which is important in many parts of the country where bikes may sit in garages for several months of the year.
     
    Compared to conventional oils, Mobil 1 motorcycle oils provide superior wear and high-temperature protection, and promote engine cleanliness and lower oil consumption.
     
    Once you get past these general advantages, you have to deal with each specific motorcycle oil one at a time to understand the benefits.

    Okay. Let's start with Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40. What does it offer that Mobil 1 for cars does not?
    Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 is designed for sport bikes. Most of these bikes have multi-cylinder/multi-valve engines and use a common sump, which means the engine oil lubricates the engine, transmission and wet clutch. So unlike Mobil 1 for cars, Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 motor oil has no friction modifiers, which could lead to clutch slippage.
     
    The motorcycle oil also has more phosphorus/zinc for enhanced wear protection at high engine speeds and high loads.
     
    In addition, Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 has a high performance dispersant/detergent technology for better high-temperature performance and engine cleanliness. Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 is also offered in a different viscosity grade than Mobil 1 for passenger cars. (Updated December 2007)

    What about Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 motor oil? How is that different from Mobil 1 for passenger cars?

    Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 fully synthetic motor oil is designed for air-cooled, large-displacement bikes. Because of their design, these engines can generate very high localized oil temperatures and high overall bulk-oil temperatures.
     
    As you know, a typical air-cooled V-twin's rear cylinder gets a lot hotter than the front cylinder – it's a matter of airflow. When it's hot out and you're stuck in traffic, the oil temperature in your bike climbs rapidly. Above about 250°F, conventional motor oil is going to break down. Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 fully synthetic motor oil is good to above 300°F.
     
    Like Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40, Mobil 1 V-Twin has high levels of phosphorus/zinc and the same high-temperature detergent technology for superior wear protection and engine cleanliness, even at elevated oil temperatures.
     
    With Mobil 1 V-Twin oil, you can go the full length of the manufacturer's recommended oil change intervals with ease.

     

    So hope this has helped a bit, and yep i have researched it quite a bit and this isn't all bullshit... there really is a difference... and yep motorbikes are not cars... mmm, go figure fellow astronauts.....
