I can't find any data regarding the Motorex KTM Racing 4T 20W/60 oil. The motorex website does not tell anything. Does anyone have any info on what is in the oil? It's a very expensive oil and naturally one wants to know if it's worth it.

I'm not so worried about the fuel filter, and even less for injectors, but for the DPF. If the particles don't get embedded in the fuel pumps and injectors, they'll make their way into the DPF and clog it. So one has to find the right amount of MoS2 to put in. Enough to protect the pumps and...

Is it a good idea? Or will the MOS2 just settle to the bottom and do nothing?

I'm planning to regularly clean the oil of both my car and motorcycle through a fine 1 micron filter. After hearing of stories where filters strip additives from the oil I contacted Amsoil to ask them if my 1 micron filter would strip their additives, here is the answer: Quote: Stefan, No filter...
