[QUOTE="bigred455, post: 968987, member: 19827"] Getting on the topic of friction modifiers,(MOLY)Delo 400 15/40 has a pretty impressive all around package.The moly content in the Delo is around 230 ppm .I switched over from Delvac 1300 which is a awesome oil too for our rides. I am on my 6th oil change with the Delo,there is no issue AT ALL with this so called friction modifiers causing clutch slippage. I am on a RMZ-450 riding in sand and pretty loamy soil conditions. 4th gear pulls on my 450 which is seldom LOL,my clutch on the 450 is hooking without a hitch in sandy conditions .With the torque of this bike, if the oil was subject to cause clutch slippage I would of noticed it,if my clutch is slipping I AM ON IT! My clutch is hooking and then some, pulls strong like it should, trust me the rpms match the speed!!!!!!!!! I am staying with the Delo. All this talk about friction modifiers,did you know Mobil's mx4t motorcycle oil has more Moly content in it than there new EP oils gold cap for auto's? Also Redline oils that are used in a wet clutch have big doses of Moly,I have never heard any complaint's of clutch slippage with riders using Redline. Motul also uses moly in the make-up of their oils. About 5 years ago in the dead of winter I wanted to try mobil 1 10/30 energy conserving oil. I was using the 15/50 RED CAP BACK THEN. I ran the 10/30 in my clutch side on my 00 KX250,loamy soil with a pretty steep 80 yard uphill. I ran this oil all day about 2 hrs worth of riding,the 10/30 performed without any clutch slippage. I am not saying to run a 10/30 oil,I just wanted to point out what you hear or read even from the oil's company spokesman cannot beat the real world test. [/QUOTE]
