15w-50 and the 5w-50, if they are fully synthetic you will have no problems. - I take it's Mobil 4T racing oil? So long as they aren't semi-synthetic or mineral oils.Originally posted by Max Factor
Is this gold capped Mobile 1 the type with friction modifiers that could make my clutch slip? Should I drain it and toss it to go buy the red cap 15w-50? I'm a little confused as I thought the 15w-50 was supposed to be full synthetic??

"Exceeds: American standard (AP) SJ / CF / EC

The EC stands for Energy Conserving. Oils that meet the EC standard have been implicated in some wet clutch failures, so this version of Mobil 1 probably isn't the best choice for your bike.
