Check the back sticker that has the weight and such on it. If it says Energy Conserving it probably has Moly. If there is no moly it's definatly fine. I don't want to start a flame war but moly MIGHT not be good for the wet clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomek Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Delvac is heavy duty diesel oil,stuff that you would put in semi.It has been on market for years,but Mobil1 version of that oil, 5w40 used to be hard to get,some track stops would carry that plus track service station. On the label you will see that it passes some Mack,Cat or Cummins etc norms,etc Anyway,it should work like a dream in your XX. It is direct competitor to shell rotella 5w40. It is not the same as a 'old' 5w40 suv oil,it is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Of Pain Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 One does not put truck oil in a motorcycle. One does pony up for the correct goddamn oil and stop being a cheap ass, lest ye trip over the pennies you saved and fall face first into a pile of shit.
