NAPA Synthetic Motor Oil On Sale This Month

[ricky racer]

I purchased a case of NAPA 15w-50 synthetic oil today for my motorcycle. Their synthetic oil (all weights) is on sale this month at NAPA for $4.99/qt. That's cheaper than most conventional oil and the NAPA oil is formulated by Valvoline, good stuff. I just thought I'd post this in case anyone else is interested in a good deal on engine oil.

Any downsides to using 15-50 synthetic in a Cub?

Any downsides to using 15-50 synthetic in a Cub?

I don't know if I'd run it in the winter but in warm weather, I don't see any problem with it, especially if there's wear in the engine. I normally run Providence synthetic oil, from Rural King, in all my vehicle's including my garden tractors. It's good oil and it doesn't cost any more than conventional motor oil. However, I've always run conventional 10w-30 oil in my Cub. Why, I don't know...

I should also add that if anyone here is thinking about using any automotive oil in their motorcycles and your motorcycle has a wet clutch you will need to check the label to verify that it has a JASO MA/MA2 certification which is required for a wet clutch. My motorcycle is a BMW R1200GS and has a dry clutch so it doesn't require that certification.
