Does Mobil 1 racing 4t 10w 40 has it??
Yes... Mobil 1 virgin Oil sample shows 91 ppm Moly... but BMW own 5w30 oil has 126 ppm Moly so technically speaking they are not worried about Moly attacking engine coating...

Unfortunately, we are past the point “here we go again...”. We are already “going again” since that post has seen the light of day.Yes...

^^^ Good post^^^ With that said, I have seen better wear rates with some oils vs other oils, so there is validity, in my opinion, to an oil being more suited to a specific engine or even riding style based on consistent UOA’s and the results. But to say because one oil gave better results wear-wise in my engine doesn’t mean it will in another engine. But no out-right failures have been noted here in a long time, if ever.I’m going to ask this and put my flame suit on. How many of you have had major engine failures by running a name brand oil and changing it st required intervals? I have been riding for over 40 years and have had countless bikes and run countless name brand oils and have never had an engine problem.
Is it just me or is the great oil debate ridiculous?
Mileage not moly is the observed cause of clutch slippage...
The holy trinity of science is 1)Reason 2)Observation 3)Experience...
employing those tools we observe that the primary cause clutch slip
are high mileage... mileage is the constant among all of the clutches
that begin to slip... oil choice whether JASO approved or not is not a
constant... High mileage is the constant where all clutches begin to
loose grip due to normal glazing and contaminates that build up over use...
Redline is not only heavy on moly but JASO MA approved... mounting
evidence that Moly will not and has never been the culprit responsible
for clutch slip... look to high mileage...
Noted Motorcycle oils that also employ moly...

I have 55 years of riding and racing with 0.0 failures credited to
single oil brand... I've noted failures on the race track but only due
to the pump sucking air after the rider tossed it...
the only difference is how much HP do you want
to waste on unessessary oil drag???
