Where Can You Get 40 Straight Weight Oil

[John Guntner]

I'm in Canada and I did find 40 wt oil in the 5 gallon pail but I'm wondering what 40 wt oils you use and where you get yours.

I use Valvoline VR-1. Reportedly high zinc content racing oil. 40wt. in my old Beemers and 50wt. in my old Harleys (sometimes 60wt.when hot summer conditions). I can get it at local auto parts stores. Not promoting Amazon but it is available there.

VR-1 but I'd go with 50 weight.

[John Guntner]

Yes. 50 wt for the summer but I like to ride sometimes when it's cooler out. I'll see if I can find the VR-1 oil. Thanks

John, I'm across the river from Saint Stephan's N.B. and I have seen 50wt in Canadian Tire over there, it was while ago I must admit. Funny side story, I was looking for a battery for my 1970 C-30 Chevy dump truck, Chi-Com one in O'Riley's Auto parts was $150 USD, Canadien Tire had a USA manufactured one for half that price.
