Lots of people carry mobil 1. They were the first to make synthetic (i believe) and have been doing it for over 20 years. If your local auto parts store doesnt carry it, they should be able to order it for you. I would definitely stick with a good quality synthetic oil. Much superior to conventional oil in every way.

I have checked all the local parts stores, and they all say they have never heard of 0W-40. (Bunch of idiots)

i use amsoil in everything that uses oil, so far it hasn't done me wrong. they were the first to develop a fully synthetic api rated oil. ( sorry bubba )

bubba, sorry i haven't got back to you about riding in arkansas. things have been kinda fast moving around here since i arrived. i met up with some guys that live in conway that are supposed to take me to a place called jeruselem, have you been there? if so how is the riding there? i think it is around your area. you are welcome to go with us when it happens if you are interested.

later,
steve

I work for a Oil Company that distributes Mobil brand and we have the 0w-40 synthetic. Let me know if you need any or for that matter any other brand and I might be able to ship ya some. It might not save you money though due to shipping rates.
