1330 OIL REPORT PHASE 2

Amount of Moly in M1 Cyle Oil

I sent them an email asking and will post their answer. I know a few years ago that Motorcycle Consumer News did an article comparing motorcycle oils and I will see if I can find it.

The test number was about 52 for the Mob1 and thats in the range of what I've seen on several Amsoil tests I've done. I asked the guru's on BITOG a good while back "what would be considered too much for wet clutch bikes" and forget the exact answer but it was somewhere in the 3 digit range. Will see if I can do a search and get the exact answer.

Specs and approvals for both

Unless they have failed to update info?

I'm pretty sure the Mobil 1 20-50 is rated the same as their 10-40. Seems I've seen JASO Ma on the bottle. Will be at Walmart today and will give a look. Amsoil and Valvoline 20-50 is rated Ma2 as well as many other brands.

Would you be willing to ask Blackstone if they have a baseline on the M1 moto 10-40. Primarily focusing on how much Moly is in the oil when new.

Overall though, I am not disappointed with the numbers and still plan to run this at the next oil change.
