Oil Prices in VT

[jcbell1007]

Just wanted to start a thread to find the best price on Motorcycle Oil in the greater Chittenden County Area. Partly because I need to change my soon and want to get the best deal.

Usually, I use Spectro Semi-Synth 10w40. Roadside has it for $7.95 a qt and Land/Air has it for $8.95 a qt. I have also bought the Suzuki Conventional 10w40 from Land/Air at $4.95 a qt (I think).

I am NOT looking for Oil advice or reviews, only the prices so that we can all benefit from lower prices.

Not another oil thread!

Castrol regular from Advance auto parts. CHEAP!

Like I said, not trying to make this another oil thread, just looking for best price. No lengthy reviews/opinions.

Whitty remarks are welcome though.

+1 for Advance Auto Parts, that's where I usually get mine from.

I usually find a special at Autozone or Advance Auto and stock up on Mobil 1 or whatever other synth is on sale.

Looks like you can grab 5 quarts of Mobil 1 at Autozone right now for $26. And they'll toss in a filter too.

Unless you need... "motorcycle oil"

$3.46

I wasn't advocating any kind of oil, just saying AAP has a good selection and reasonable prices. I usually stick with the synthetic Rotella 15w-40 (or is it 15w-50?)

[selltekk]

Advance was running a special on Mobil 1...$25 for a filter and 5 quarts. I thought that was a great deal. Not sure if it is still running though.

You don't need motorcycle oil... oil is oil...

So you were 400 fuckin' yards from my house and didn't stop in.............

Castrol Syntec (full synthetic). ~$25 for a 5 gallon jug at WallyWorld.

Syntec is not technically a full synthetic.

Syntec is not technically a full synthetic.

Guess I never checked the ingredients. It says "Full Synthetic" on the label and it's not "Energy Conserving" so wet clutch motorcycle safe. Got another suggestion for the same price?

[NobodySpecific]

Rotella!!!

[Cheese]

Rotella!!!

I was thinkin' that but maybe I'll need to compare ingredients to make sure it's "Full Synthetic" since I've been taken.

I paid $4.12 w/tax at AAP in Brattleboro last night. Valvoline 10w40 mineral.
Bike was a bit low.

How is oil more expensive than gasoline? Isn't gasoline harder to make?

i believe yes.

Basic economics. Imagine what the price of gas would be if you only used 4-5 quarts every 3,000 miles?

Drain your oil, filter through a stack of coffee filters, put back in bike. Top off with cooking oil from the kitchen, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil for Ducati owners.

I like to throw in a little garlic just for flavor.

Along with economics there is a lot more R+D that goes into oil, along with all the SAE and API certifications, etc.

Same reason cocaine is more expensive than crack.
