For questions i see a bit on here for what oil to get, i watched this vid a long while ago and its not primarily the reason but it was the final straw for why i switched to running Mobil 1 in all my vehicles the talk about mobil 1 starts at the 4 min mark.

couldnt get the vid in the thread for some reason, but theres the link.

 

Just make sure it's not the energy conserving version if it is going in a motorcycle with a wet clutch.

Nowadays, if it's a big enough name, I don't think it makes too much of a difference. I found a place that sells Elf 100% and I've always had good experience with it from the start so I'll continue using it.

 

i dont believe it is i checked when i bought it and it didnt say anything on the bottle about evergy conserving i heard to stay clear of that but i never new why if you know why i would like to know just out of sheer curiousity.

 

Most of the 10W40 or heavier weight mobil 1 oils are not energy conserving, but it's still good to check.
"Energy conserving" oils are usually lower viscosity and "slipperier" than conventional oils because of high metal additives like molybdenum.
Many many oils contain molybdenum, though (even motorcycle specific oils), but the levels are generally much higher in ec car oils and may lead to clutch slippage. Generally, though, the energy conserving oils are thinner than recommended for our bikes anyway.

 

ah ok i got ya good deal thanks for the enlightenment
