Hi everyone,
I have vintage 50cc 2 stroke moped that requires EP90 gear oil for the gears that share the same oil with the wet clutch.
I was thinking initially to get some 10W40 or 20W50 motorcycle oil, but decided to follow the manufacturer requirements because that thing has a small engine and it gets very hot.
So I got Motul Gear oil 80W90 (mineral) as the closest to EP90 which I didn't find (Castrol has it for vintage cars, but saw it too late). The Motul oil has MoS2 (molybdenum bi-sulfate) and is high viscosity oil KV100*C - 21.7 cSt.
My question is:
Do you think the wet clutch would slip as that oil has moly and probably other friction modifiers?
