I currently use Mobil 1 VTwin 20/50, cut can't find it anywhere locally, and my bike is low. Does it matter if I put just normal Mobil 1 20/50? Pretty sure not.

Mixing oil is "ok" as long as your mixing synthetic with synthetic.

The v-twin/motorcycle oils are specifically designed to work with wet clutches and the regular 20/50 is probably not.

Every time you change oil brands you are mixing oils, it won't be a problem.

Buell and H-D power units do not share engine and clutch oil.

The engine is not going to care.

That's what I figured. Thanks all.
