Oil
At Motorcycle Medic in Vilas, North Carolina, we stock and sell quality engine oil specifically formulated for motorcycles, ATVs, and UTVs. With over 50years of hands-on experience, we’ve learned that not all oils are created equal—and using the right oil is critical for protecting your engine, improving performance, and extending the life of your machine.
Whether you ride dirt, street, or a side-by-side utility vehicle, proper lubrication makes a noticeable difference. That’s why we only carry engine oils we trust—brands that have proven themselves in real-world riding conditions, especially here in the High Country.
Motorcycle-Specific FormulationS
Motorcycle engines and transmissions are built differently from those in passenger vehicles. Many motorcycle engines share oil between the engine, clutch, and transmission, which means the oil must do more than just lubricate—it also needs to handle high temperatures, resist shearing, and provide friction control for wet clutches.
We carry full synthetic, semi-synthetic, and conventional motorcycle oils that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. Whether your bike requires 10W-40, 20W-50, or another grade, we stock a range of options to meet different riding conditions and engine types.
We help riders choose based on:
- Engine type (air-cooled vs. liquid-cooled)
- Riding style (aggressive, touring, casual)
- Season and temperature conditions
- Oil change intervals
If you're unsure what your bike needs, our team can look up your manufacturer’s recommendation and explain the best match based on how and where you ride.
ATV & UTV Oils
ATVs and UTVs have unique demands. Many are used in rugged environments, under load, and for long durations—all of which can stress the oil. We stock heavy-duty engine oils designed for utility machines, sport quads, and side-by-sides, including 4-stroke oils engineered to handle dust, moisture, and high heat.
We offer oil types suitable for:
- Cold-weather startup in winter trail use
- Heavy towing or plowing work
- High RPM recreational riding
- Multi-vehicle owners looking for cross-compatibility
We also carry oils with high-detergency formulas to keep internal parts cleaner, reducing the risk of sludge or varnish buildup in machines that don’t get frequent oil changes.
Get the Right Oil When You Need It
At Motorcycle Medic, we maintain a consistent inventory of the most commonly used oil weights and formulations, ensuring that riders never have to wait to get the protection their engine deserves. Whether you're preparing for a DIY oil change or having our team handle the service, we’ll make sure you get the correct oil type and the exact amount your machine requires.
If we’re servicing your motorcycle, ATV, or UTV, we take the time to explain the product selection—what it is, why we’re using it, and how it benefits your specific engine setup.
Regardless of your preference, riding habits, or vehicle type, our goal is the same: to match you with an oil that’s proven, appropriate, and backed by decades of experience.

Testimonials
I broke my shifter bolt off while riding on the BDR. What they didn't have was an oem replacement bolt for my ktm 500, But what they did have was the skillset and tools required to extract a broken bolt and a replacement bolt that would work. They rolled another bike off a lift and prioritized my bike to get me back on the trail. They saved my weekend!

Pat, George, and Zack always do excellent work for me, and with a fast turn around time! I took my 2008 CBR600RR to get a full tune up plus some mods, and had it back the same week! If it's a motorcycle, dirtbike, 4wheeler, or side-by-side, trust these guys!

These guys were amazing. I would highly recommend this shop. We needed a rear tire replaced since ours died a horrible death after many curvy runs. They not only changed the rear tire on my husband's Honda vtx1800 motorcycle but initially helped us take it off the trailer (with a severely flat tire) but rescued us from certain disaster when my husband went down trying to get it back on the trailer. They didn't have to do the repair as this shop is busy but they fit us in. Thank you to the gentlemen at motorcycle medic for your fantastic service.

Awesome repair shop! Staffed with very qualified mechanics that get repairs done as quickly as possible. It's also run and owed by an incredibly knowledgeable mechanic that's honest as they come. Reminds me of the good old days. There's no upsell or runaround just quality work done for reasonable price. First time customer and now customer for life!
