Need help with Mobil 1 for bike/wet clutch

[flw]

I need to know how to tell the mobil one I'm looking at the store is for bikes/wet clutches ?

Does it have to say motorcycle or is there a abbreviation for this?

So it would be Mobil 1 XXX ?

[nitroglis]

as I understand it. avoid any thing that 's labeled energy saving.

This is what you're looking for, it meets the viscosity and additive requirements for the wing:

Mobil also makes a oil for v-twin bikes, but it's a 20-50, which is outside the book spec for the wing:

If you decide to go looking for something else, make sure it doesn't say energy conserving, and it really should be marked "JASO MA" to be on the safe side.

If you look in back of the bottle, there is a round emblem , there should be nothing written on the bottom.

There has to be a friction modifier in the oil for use with a wet clutch. Unless Mobil One has started mixing a modifier in their oil I wouldn't use it!! Stick with Klotz or an equivalent oil made for MC four stroke with wet clutches.

I have been using Regular car Mobil one in my bikes for over 10 years. Never had a problem. Although I will be moving to the made for MC Oil next change autozone now sells it.

Just for information, the auto Mobil 1 now has added "moly" to their oil. Mobile 1 does make a motorcycle oil which is approved for use with wet clutch operation. It is called Racing 4T/motorcycle oil in a 10w40 synthetic. [part number 98hc75 I think] I feel you should always use an oil specifically made for motorcycles/wet clutch service. I use AMSOIL Motorcycle oil 10w30 or 10w40 in my 2009 Goldwing.

As said above DON'T USE oils labeled energy conserving or that says friction modifiers. Many people use rotelle it's relatively cheap and works well. The label should NOT look like this..

[Wadcutter]

Mobil 1 labeled for High Mileage vehicles does not have the "Energy Conserving" label.

On the back of the bottle there is a circle with a horizontal line through it. Most oils now say energy conserving in the bottom half of the circle. DO NOT use these oils for a wet clutch bike. Most of them contain Molybdenum which is too slippery for wet clutches at least according to Honda for my GL1800. If it is blank in the bottom half of the circle you are good to go.

Just a note...Mobile 1 for autos now has 300ppm of "molyd", just so you understand, their motorcycle oil does not have "molyd" in it.
Ride safe and often!!!
