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.

I order the Brad Penn racing oil ( some call it the green oil ) from my local guy who has to order it from Pennsylvania. I order a case of 50 wt for my flatheads but they carry many other wts as well. I/m told it''s the original oil well and has all the good stuff our old bikes need ,like like zinc and other stuff( I'm no chemist) anyway has worked for me for the past 20 years or so...( Not cheap but hey it works)
