I asked a while ago about 5w-50 as that was what the dealer was using on my Scooter .  It's a Polaris PS4 5w-50.

There are lots of choices of 5w50 oil in the states anyway.

I know that they make it, but I have yet to see it in any of the stores that I have gone to. I can order it online, but when you add the shipping costs, it gets too expensive.Autozone,Pep boys,Strauss auto,Napa and Walmart, in New Jersey, do not stock it.I was just curious, that's all. Thanks for the info and links.

Hi Rich,

I got my Mobil 1 at NAPA.  I just ordered it online and they shipped free to the store and i picked it up there in a few days.  It even happened to be on sale last year for about $5.00 a quart.  I stocked up on a bunch of it.
