As mentioned, Motul just ignored my email. Redline responded within 30mins as they have in the past. I've decided to go with the Redline 20W50 motorcycle oil. Thanks everyone! Alex

Really? They say its JASO MA (MA1 specifically) approved for wet clutch and contains 0.05%. I was just about to order a gallon of the 20W50 Redline too! What in your opinion, is the % of moly which is wet clutch safe? Thanks for joining in, more info for me the better! Alex

Here is the response from Redline, no specifics though, just a general answer: "Alex, Thank you for contacting Red Line Oil, the Red Line Motorcycle Oils satisfy the MA1 requirements. Regards, Dave Red Line Oil"

Thanks. I've already emailed Redline asking and I'm sending the same request to Motul. I will post back the replies I get! Alex

Awesome! Thank you, I'll start digging deeper into their data sheets for their products to find these numbers. Because without, both oils seem exactly the same on the surface to me anyway. You know, it's funny, this is the only 300V 15W50 listed on Motul's site...

Well, Redline is also JASO rated for wet clutches. The Redline is MA though, not MA2. From my understanding MA2 is the revised version which covers catalytic converters built into the exhaust after 2006, which of course I have. anyone know if the 300V meets MA2 cert for cats? EDIT: Nope...

Cyclegear has it for $34 a quart ($17 per liter is how it's bottled). Not bad considering the bike only needs 2 quarts lol. Cheap compared to the gallons of Redline I buy for my cars lol. Well from what else I can gather, the Motul 300V also meets all of the certification requirements for wet...

I can't get that link to work. I'll try to find it searching. Can't find it. It's not listed on their channel either: https://www.youtube.com/user/DAaustralia/videos

I bought another new Ducati superbike but the dealer I used this time seems to really be behind Motul 300V. In my last Ducati and all of my vehicles for that matter, I run Redline. I really know nothing about the Motul 300V. Is it a group IV or a group V? If it's a group V, how does it really...

I just wanted to follow-up on this thread I started way back when. I have since used Redline with ARX on a 2008 GMC Acadia with 89K miles I bought back in May. All has gone well with all vehicles I've done this with and I couldn't be happier with the cleaning results.

The RP was the only locally available regular dino oil I could get with the zinc/phos I need. I dind't want to bother to waste a bottle of ZDDP just to drain in a couple hundred miles. 1955 was the first year for the SBC actually, didn't even have provisions for an oil filter! Filters started...

Here is the response I just received from RP: ----------------------------------------------- Good Morning Mr. xxxxxxx, I think there may have been some miscommunication with the Comp Cams rep. or he/she does not understand lubrication. Typically, a camshaft manufacturer recommends changing the...

I just rebuilt the 265ci V8 in my 1956 Corvette. I reused the original flat tappet cam & solid lifters (in the same bores). Did a ball hone on the cylinders and used cast rings. I filled it with Royal Purple Break-In oil. I am hearing conflicting things on the internet and want to ask you...

Good to know!!!

Ok, good catch! I'll look over the whole site before I do so I don't waste his time. Thanks!

Didn't say that here: http://auto-rx.com/pages/heavy_sludge_app.html It only mentions a Group III oil when mixed with Auto-Rx implying the clean phase, not rinse. Maybe there are different rinse instructions on another portion of the site I missed?!
