Try not to equate molybdenum content with energy conserving status...quote:

The oil you speak of is probably Mobil 1 motorcycle which is certainly not worth it. I use Amsoil 10w-40 for $4.55 a quart.quote:

Some people believe you need to use a motorcycle oil in a motorcycle. Please consider their sensitivities and glue a picture of a mototcycle and a$4 higher price tag to the HDEO bottle before you use it.
The oil I speak of is various brands of dino HDEO 15W-40 oils with C4 on the label. About $1.60/qt.quote:
