[QUOTE="Boozer, post: 191212, member: 25135"] hate to pull this one out of the grave, but it wasn't finnished. We in Australia have different Mobil 1 oils (because we are behind). The gold cap 5W-50 is a automotive specific oil that i use in my turbocharged datsun. It doesn't claim to be compatible with wet clutch systems so i wouldn't use it in my bike. Also, it has a API rating of SJ, which isn't the best for dirt bikes. It contains (so people say) less zinc and other anti-wear agents to prelong catalytic converters in new cars. If you want to use Mobil 1 in Australia, go for the Mobil 1 4T (either full synthetic or semi syntetic.) it too has a gold cap (red on semi) and has a API rating of SG/SH, better for wear protection in our dirt bikes. I would like to use Mobil 1 MX4T 10W50 (i think it was), but my local distributor claimed that 'it doesn't exsist', even though it appears on Mobils web page. Funny that. [/QUOTE]
