Anyone no of a good online source for mobile 4t oil? I need a case and locally I'm getting prices of around $75 bucks.

Best prices I've found are in store at auto zone.
Usually $8 a bottle

It's on the auto zone website for $11.

Do the individual stores have 'local' prices?

Advance Auto Parts also stock both Mobil 1 10W40 4T Racing and V-Twin 20W50, typically $10- but often have the $8- special. And yes, individual locations set their own prices, so enter a nearby zip to see what's up.

Unfortunately Mobil 1 no longer formulates the 15W50 4T which used to be specified for Triumph and is purrrfect for Ducatis as well. The Mobil 1 site suggests using the V-Twin in place of the 15W50 4T. Must be a similar formulation. http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Car_Care/AskMobil/Oil_for_Triumph_Bonneville.aspx (http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Car_Care/AskMobil/Oil_for_Triumph_Bonneville.aspx)

Triumph now recommend Castrol Motorcycle 10W50 4T synthetic. Due to past experience with Castrol quality control in cars with synthetic 10W50, I wouldn't put that stuff in my lawn mower!

^ that. On the shelf it's near 10 but always rings up at 8 and the register tape shows a discount of $2 per unit
