"We've been beating this one up for some time now--use only oil that clearly states "V twin" as seen on Mobile One. As long as it says V Twin it has the proper additives for our engines"
Why should a large air cooled V Twin motorcycle engine need any different oil to any other large air cooled motorcycle engine that is not a V Twin
How do we know that the special additives (if any) that supposedly suit our V Twins, and are aparently present in oil marked "V Twin", are not present in oil that does not mention "V Twin" on the can.
The oil certainly does not know the engine is configured as a V Twin.
I am not suggesting that we do not all continue to use oil marked as "V Twin", but is it just a sales ploy to charge more for an identical product?
A full chemical analysis would be needed to answer this question.
