Valvoline 4-stroke Motorcycle Oil
Thanks for the info. How much is a qt of that Valvoline?
I haven't bought any in a while...... Have been using it in our older cars for 10 years. I stocked up on it 5 years ago. I got mine from AutoZone. As I recall, it was around the same price as other name brand oil. Its available in 10W40 and 20W50.
OK...... Here ya go...... Looked it up on line. Current price is $6.99 a quart from AutoZone and $6.72 a quart from Wall Mart. O'Reilley's is supposed to carry it as well, but I couldn't find price online......

This price is for dino oil. There are also synthetic based motorcycle oils available from various suppliers if you're into that sort of thing. We have not had good luck with synthetics in our older cars that were broken in and run for some while on dino oil. We had the oil in my wife previous 2003 model car which had been broken in and run on dino oil (had around 170,000 miles at the time) changed at a mechanic shop. Without telling us, they put a synthetic blend in her car and in a couple of days, it was smoking, burning a quart of oil every 500 miles and leaking oil from seals.
We brought it back within a week and once we learned it had synthetic in there, had it changed back to dino oil and by the next 3,000 mile oil change, the smoking and leaking had stopped and I only had to add 1/2 qt. every 1,500 miles to top it off (same oil consumption rate as before). We drove that car until it had over 250,000 miles and then we bought her 2013 model she has now. Oil consumption remained the same until we sold it...... A half qt. every 1,500 miles. Her 2013 model was designed for synthetic and we have the dealer do the oil changes now that my knees are too shot to do it out in the driveway.
Best regards,
Harry
