A month ago Victory oil was about $11.00 per quart and the 4.5 quart kit was $60.00 at most places. Now even Amazon has a quart of 15W-40 Victory oil at $19.18 and the 4.5 quart kits at $78.99. Thanks, but no thanks. Mountain Motorsports in Conyers, GA had the 4.5 Victory oil kits for $60.00 a month ago. They haven't gotten any new kits in in a long time but they're also now at $78.99 for the ones they've had on the shelf.

Shell Rotella at my local Wal Mart stores hasn't been on the shelf for well over a month. Amazon has a gallon of 15W-40 T6 at $55.79. The last time I bought it at Wal Mart it was around $22.00.

I'm glad I still have a few oil changes left in the garage between Golden Spectro, Victory oil and Rotella T6.

We picked up a Tucson a little over a year ago where we moved from in December. The dealer gave us free oil changes for 3 years but the drive to sit and wait wasn't worth it to me last time it needed to get changed so I did it myself and saved a half day dealing with it. Maybe I need to rethink that next time around.

Just couple weeks back when looking for Rotella, I was blown away from the internet prices, as I was not seeing any in stock at the local national auto parts stores. If you have a Tractor Supply down there, this is where I found mine at reasonable prices. Also Rural King, if you have one, usually (were are not in usual times) stocks Rotella, or perhaps whatever farm implement stores you have. At least you are good for now.

Same issues here in S.E. Ohio, when I’m lucky enough to find T4 or T6 on the shelf I grab a jug. I mix mine 50/50 & am good for 2 more oil changes, Iron Pony still has the victory oil change kits but they were about $80

Rotella sold many places. I just found out that Menards (regional home improvement store) sells T6 for some reason and it's priced about same as Walmart.

One year ago this week, WTI (west TX intermediate) sold for $60/bbl. Now, it's at $112. Yes, oil is going higher. Just be thankful you don't own a diesel p/u that requires the better part of a case! Or if you do, sucks to be you!

I was just there yesterday (and pretty much every day before that for quite a while) and they do not have it anywhere near me in NW Chicago. Also on their web site if you look up T6 you'll see there is no "add to cart" button and they have a statement: "Unfortunately, the vendor is unable to supply this item at this time. Please check back again in the future."

I still have a couple quarts left and picked up some T4 per what @Bikesofbrads mentioned. I don't need a change for a while so when / if they get T6 back in soon I'll just return the T4.

Unless you ride enough that you change the oil every month or more, so what if it costs another $15 or $20. Jeez, if that busts your budget then sell the damn bike.

I never knew they had it. Friend recently mentioned picking it up there on Facebook. Checked website and local store has 24 bottles. Others around 10.

I buy by the gallons. 3 pack for $68??.00 from Amazon. Have enough for 4 more complete changes, just did a change last month. Walmart was cheaper but now $8 more. I use the Castrol 20/50 semi with actevo for V twins. I've been keeping my gas receipts, I always check mileage every fill, and Hand to God I've picked up an average of 2.5 mpg since I started using this a couple years ago.
I have the straight gears, if we can still say straight, so oil changes at 2500 miles really saves me a bunch. I also note that the metal dust on magnets, WD plug and pcs1 filter, have decreased. Between mileage increase and less dust clearly this is fantastic oil!!! Turning 78k and the only oil I lose is what I wipe off the dip stick.
