Thanks again!

This is generally the cheapest, if you are not local to a "friendly" dealer and aren't purchasing great quatities.

Since I got my dealership, I've found that shipping less than a case of anything the shipping cancels out the savings I could give them.

Considering the distance to ship for me I wiould def order in bulk, plus with 3 bikes it will def get used

That works then, either Gas or I can order and have it shipped directly to your address, so no additional shipping charges.

It's when a guy just wants a couple quarts that it gets spendy.

I hear ya, I always try to order in bulk, plus its not like it will go bad any time soon. Couple of local shops sell it but at a rather jacked up price, but thats par for the course in this area.

Yeah, for the people I sell to that I "mark up" the price, my final price is still below listed price at the stores BEFORE tax.

I have been jonesin' to switch to Amsoil products. My mom has a higher mileage Nissan Altima that I have heard from a ton of altima forums that Amsoil 0w30 is the way to go....

I have never had to change the oil on the 500, and I probably wont before I go to sell her. For an old engine, she is very easy on oil.... Might go the Amsoil way on my next bike though, because I hated how Repsol made my R6 sound mechanically.

i'll give it some more time, but i may be trying amsoil, as AGIP is hard to come by

gas can you PM me a price for 4 qt to 77407

20w-50 m/c oil

$37 for product + ship & tax = $50.62 total

As said below shipping sucks on smaller orders... I usually always order by the case my self.

Cool, just let me know.

Yeah but they do base everything on weight.

Yeah I order by the case... I have 2 bikes but lots of others going through my lift all the time and most of them run Amsoil (by their choice and nothing to do with my opinion).

Yes Cutty has a dealer membership behind me as well. And he's right, it's always best to ship straight to you.

Well let me know and I can price out whatever you want. My store front link is in my signature but I can get you discounted rates if you just email or pm me.

Ive been using repsol for a while with gold results, I went out on a limb and used mobil 1 recently because I couldn't find enough repsol for the bikes in my area, sp day I really have not noticed a difference.

But I did see a difference when I started using repsol exclusively a while back, switching from the generic oil that the store always sold me

I didn't see any performance difference switching from Yamalube dino to Repsol synthetic in the R6. Just louder mechanical movement.
