Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10w-40 synthetic (motorcycle oil for sport bikes) is on sale at Advance Auto @ $7.99/quart (reg. price $10.99).
The oil can be ordered online and picked up at your local Advance Auto. There's also a 15% discount code available which can be use for purchases of parts & maintenance supplies. Unfortunately the discount doesn't appear to reduce prices for items already be on sale.
For example, Purolator Pure One PL14610 oil filters which are regularly priced @ $6.99 at Advance can be purchased online @ $5.94 after the discount. You can also order the same filters @ $5.99/each from amazon.com w/free super saver shipping for orders totaling $25+. Also, depending on where you live ordering from Amazon may also allow your avoid state sales tax (5% in VA).
Edit: I just noticed that of today (3/4/12) advanceauto.com is offering an even better incentive. By entering discount code MA15 you'll receive 15% off (for most non-sale priced items) purchased totaling $50+ AND you'll receive a certificate good for $25 off a future purchase of $50+.
To put this in perspective, if you order at least $50 now and order least $50 later, the total discount realized would be $32.50 ($50 x 15% = $7.50 + $25). So you'd only pay $67.50 (plus sales tax) for $100 in qualifying mdse. Free shipping to your door is also offered for purchases totaling $75+.
Not bad!
Admittedly, even on sale Mobil 1 Racing 4T is somewhat pricy. However, I recently decided to give the oil a try and observed a noticeable improvement in how my 5th-generation shifts now compared to the Shell Rotella T 15w40 I was using.

I was at Canadian Tire last week and they had the Mobil1 15W50 "extended performance" in the 5L jug on closeout for 50% off. Mobil has apparently stopped making this specific oil.
It was $21.35 per jug after the discount, and I bought the last two they had on the shelf.
Mobil will still make a 15w50, but it will be the "regular" M1, not the "extended performance".

What is the difference between Mobil 1 Extended Performance and Mobil 1?
Mobil 1 Extended Performance has an even more robust formula that has been proven in extensive field tests to help protect critical engine parts for 15,000 miles between oil changes. Guaranteed. We’ve selected specific synthetic components to deliver this outstanding level of performance.

I use Mobil One Racing 4T motorcycle specific fully synthetic in my bikes for street and track. Good stuff. Will check out my local Autozone tomorrow.
The Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10w-40 on sale is available at Advance Auto, not Autozone. The 20w-50 version recommended for air-cooled cruisers is also available at the same price..
I also got lucky when I stopped by Advance during the drive home from work yesterday. When I went to pick up some of the Mobil 1 Racing 4T I noticed sitting on the shelf right beside it they had Valvoline full synthetic10w-40 for motorcycles with the tag showing $5.29/quart. Since I knew that was a great price I picked up all four quarts that were on the shelf and headed for the register. When the guy rang me up the price registered $10/quart. Turns out out the wrong price tag was put on the shelf (the price was for Valvoline's conventional/dino version of the 10w-40 and 20w-50 motorcycle oils). Since the display was right in front of the register I immediately pointed out the price tag. So they had to sell me the oil for the price marked-which as it turns out was $4.50 less than their regular price for the oil ($9.79)!
Of course as they say hindsight is 20/20 and I now wish I'd asked someone to pull a few cases of the Valvoline Synthetic from the back before I headed to the register. Oh well!
Note: I also picked up some of the Mobil 1 Racing 4T on sale yesterday. Note that seven quarts should easily cover two oil and filter changes for a 5th/6th generation @ ~ 3.3 quarts per.change.

Is this a good oil to use in a 6th Gen (2002)?
How many would recommend it?
So far I really like the way my 5th generation shifts w/this oil and I'm confident it meets or exceeds all of Honda's requirements for use in 6th generations too.
Here's a link to the product as listed on amazon.com with some favorable customer reviews f.y.i.
If you purchase $40+ online and enter code BIG1540 at checkout they'll deduct $15. Note: the discount applies to all regularly priced mdse and some (but not all) sale mdse. Unfortunately it doesn't apply to motor oil that's already on sale like Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10w-40.
Today I ordered 4 Purolator PL14610 oil filters for my Honda motorcycles (reg. $6.99 ea) & 2 bottles of McGuires Ultimate Quick Detailer (22 oz) which is currently listed on sale at $8.29 ea. The unadjusted total before sales tax before entering the discount code was $44,54...and $29.54 after the code was entered. As a result the 4 oil filters cost me $18.54 ($27.96 - $9.54), or $4.635 each and the Quick Detailer cost $5.50 each (before sales tax).
The $15 discount represented a savings of 33.7% ($44.54/$15). I'll be picking up my order this evening from an Advance Auto that's along the route I take when commuting home from work.
There are other money saving promotions available from Advance Auto right now including free shipping for purchases over $75, and 15% off with a $50 voucher for future purchases when you buy $100+.
Some credit cards also offer rewards to include a 5% rebate if you order from Advance via the the credit card's portal. I did this today using my Discover card to score another 5% credit.
.
Total savings + cash back awards = $16.55 ($15 + $31.02 @ 5%) against the $44.54 worth of mdse purchased before sales tax, which translates to savings of 37.2% in addition to the already discounted sales price listed for the detailer.
Not too shabby!
