[QUOTE="MWEISSEN, post: 99847, member: 16873"] I think somebody's got their head screwed on backwards on this Mobil 1 issue, either at Dirt Bike or Thumper Racing - or like someone said, it's propoganda to sell more Maxima. Think about it - why would clutch and gear action shear oil worse than engine actions? The clutch and gears turn about 10 times slower than the engine itself, generating a lot less heat, and certainly less shearing action that would break down an oil. The action of a piston against a cylinder, or a valve against a guide, or the cam chain on the sprockets certainly would be worse in my mind than gears. I posted the Dirt Bike thing because I knew it'd get a rise - the "which oil is best" message threads are second only to the "which bike is best" thread in terms of opinions and ideas. Of course, we all know Yamaha makes the best bike....:p [/QUOTE]
