Trying to find 15w-40 syth bike oil

[benebob]

I know oil is a bad subject on most boards.  Seems I should be putting in 15w-40 accordng to the owners manual recommending  Mobil 4t which I first started looking for at the usual oil places for me, amazon, local auto parts places only to find no one has any oil excpet diesel engine 15w-40 let alone a systhetic or semi synthetic  cycle oil.  What gives?  Don't have time to ride to Hermy's for oil as it is a busy week for me and I was hoping to do a change this weekend.  Was going to have them send me a filter.  Shipping oil and paying dealer prices might make me cry. :)

10W-40 is the usual fill.

So you think they just misprinted it 4 times in my manual :lol: Sounds like something that I'd find in the manual for my TVR not an actual production vehicle company with proof readers  and the like on staff.  I'll order the 10w-40.  

Thanks!

auto zone ...............mobil 1 4t racing ....about 10 bucks a qt.
it IS 10w 40 now but it is fine

this works really well too and can be found at wal mart for around 20 bucks a gallon

+ 1 on the Rotella 5W40 full synth (T6) ... Have used on my 2000 Tiger for 2 years now with no ill effects. Ran it in my 06 Bonneville for 5 years prior to that and in a hand full of other bikes. All took it well, no clutch slip, no issue in cold down into the 30s.
