Int 650 Oil in the USA?

What is the better recommended oil available here in America?
Currently have 120 miles on my brand new Int 650, so I'm prepping for my first oil change.
I know several UK videos recommend Fuchs Silkolene but it doesn't seem to be easily available here in the states.

Well I guess my google foo was very week the other night.
Simple search today found Silkolene at power sport superstore out of Texas 69.44 for 4 liter jug of Silkolene 601451768 Pro 4 Plus Oil - 10W50 .
( https://www.powersportsuperstore.com ) link left cold because I don't know this forum's policies yet.

I'm gearing up for my first oil change on my new-to-me interceptor as well. It's previous owner included a quart of Mobil1 V-twin 20-50 that he'd been topping up with. I haven't needed to top up.

Any motorcycle-specific, full synthetic, 10-50 oil will do nicely.

Yep!.....but finding 10/50 motorcycle-specific oil in most locations is no picnic, and too often has to be purchased online rather than off-the-shelf.

I'm starting to miss those 'good old days' when I could use Mobil 1 motorcycle-specific synthetic from the auto store down the street.

I'll spend a few minutes searching and adding some online purchase links here. I'm not suggesting any one oil over another and I'm not going to respond to anyone who tries to start a discussion over which oil I should use. Please reply to the OP with the oil you use though. I prefer my bikes to use the correct quantity of clean oil.

If any of these oils are just wrong please call that out too, sorry if I pointed to anything non-applicable to our bikes.

Some random links for 10-50 full synthetic motorcycle oil:

These are just a few things that came up in a Google search, I don't know anything about synthetic oil, they're just results that didnt say, "out of stock".

I've bought items from Rural King before, they seemed like a good seller and I'd do business with them again. The Oreilly website allowed me to choose RE Int650 as my vehicle, pretty cool to find that. I'd usually want to buy locally but since there seem to be no Local Small Businesses selling this oil, I'll likely buy online.

Ok, scratch Rural King for an online purchase, they estimate $44 shipping for 4 quarts of oil. But they have 130 stores, but local if you decide on the Lucas oil for $9.99/qt.

Scratch the Reverendmotors stuff too based on price alone.

O'Reilly doesn't have 3 quarts of Lucas for me locally & I'd need to buy online, 3 quarts is 53 cents short of free shipping. I guess I'd get 4 then?

Looks like the Castrol from Wal-Mart online would be the best at $46 for 4 quarts, if I can ship it to the store for free & pick it up.

I'm running Motul 7100 up here in Canada. I get it online from Fortnine. Free shipping.

Available on Amazon in the US.

From what I understand, the manual states 10w50 full synthetic, no mention of motorcycle specific. ?

FWIW I have been using Mobil 1 full synth automotive in my '94 Gold Wing (purchased new) ever since it reached 10,000 miles. It now has over 200,000 on it and it still purrs like a tiger.
