Mobil 1 question??

[Suncoast]

Can anyone tell me if the Mobil 1 oil that I can get in the local auto parts store is ok to use in my Sprint ? I know triumph recomends the Mobil 1 racing oil but is this the same as the mobil 1 on the shelf or should I seek out the motul, I don't have a Triumph dealer locally so will have to buy from a different dealer.

Perfectly ok! Save yourself some bucks. I've used it for years and it's been just fine.

Here's a good read on oil and filters

It all depends on what you mean by Ok or for that matter Mobil 1. There are a bunch of Mobil 1's. If you mean the 15w50 in with a gold color cap. It's OK. If you find some older stuff in a red cap, that's OK too. If it starts with a 0w or a 5w, in any color, it ain't OK. I'm not even going to touch the motorcycle specific stuf, that's OK too but more expensive.

I use Mobil 1, 15w-50, gold cap.
