Does anyone know where to get amsoil or royal purple motorcycle/air cooled oil? I can’t find it (I also haven’t really been looking very hard either but…)
i think i saw amsoil at advance. ive never seen air cooled specific oil though.
edit: also, youre on the internet. amazon is always the answer.
Cheaper+no tax+brought to your door=win
There is a guy on NYfirearms selling like 6 or 9 qts of it for $40 bucks. Let me see if I can get in contact with him for you.
how could the cooling system make any difference for oil type?
There is a specific type of oil for the v twin air cooled motors, they don’t use 5W30 or 10W30, they use 20W50. Is this for the Buell? Same kind of oil for the primary as the engine. ~ 2.5qts in swing arm and ~1qt in primary if you are changing that as well, which I’d receomend at each oil change interval as well.
I use mobil 1 20w50 in my Buell, carquest, autozone etc should all have it. Amsoil isnt available at many places, if any? I see most people ordering that from an authorized seller.

Because the Vtwins that are air cooled run much hotter than the liquid cooled bikes. Sometimes up to 300-400 degrees if you are doing a lot of city/stop and go riding.
The only “store” locally that carries amsoil that I know of is the VW dealer in orchard park.
You can get redline at K&S by the river.
Not sure if any carry 20w50.
Advance has mobil 1 air cooled oil.
walmart has royal purple… not sure if it’s air cooled or not.
I saw it at autozone before, but that was a long time ago.
Licata’s stocks it.
20w/50 on special at Pepboys. I think coupon deal is still in effect. Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for.
Voz Cycle City/ most motorcycle and offroad stores stock Amsoil 20w50
Autobone has 20/50 valvoline that the harley guys typically eat up like crazy. Its what my old boss used to use in his road king back in the day.
The only oil I have ever use in my Buell or any of my buell’s is Haley’s screaming eagle full syn
