Mobil 1 Motorcycle Oils are advanced performance synthetic motorcycle oils. The unique, synthetic structure
of the Mobil 1 Motorcycle formulations enables them to offer advantages well beyond conventional motorcycle
oils of similar viscosities. For example, conventional mineral base oils change viscosity as the temperature
changes.. This characteristic forces manufacturers of conventional, multigrade motorcycle oils to use
additional additive thickeners which will help the oil maintain its viscosity as the temperature increases. These
thickeners can shear down and lose their thickening capacity in an operating engine or transmission. Synthetic
fluids, however, do not require much thickener to achieve a multigrade viscosity rating and, in some cases, do
not require any thickener. As a result synthetic formulations will provide a more shear stable and protective oil
film for engine bearings, piston rings, transmission gears and other critical engine parts. than a conventional oil
of a similar viscosity grade.
Both Mobil 1 Motorcycle formulations offer excellent flow characteristics at low temperatures to reduce engine
wear at start-up, and outstanding resistance to oxidation and/or volatilization at high temperatures, both of which
degrade the oil. Further, the Mobil 1 Motorcycle Oils provide outstanding protection against engine wear under
high-temperature and high engine speed conditions. Each of the Mobil 1 Motorcycle product formulations have
been optimized to meet the unique performance characteristics demanded by motorcycle engines and thus,
provide a higher level of performance and protection for motorcycle engines than even the Mobil 1 Automotive
engine oils.
Approvals: SJ, SH, SG/CF, CD and JASO MA Applications: Mobil 1 Motorcycle Oils are full synthetic, high-performance engine oils formulated specifically to meet the
demanding needs of motorcycle engines. Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 is formulated to offer outstanding protection in 4-cycle, V-Twin type engines, particularly those which are air cooled and tend to
run hotter than other types of engines.
Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 and Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 are recommended for 4-cycle, motorcycles which specify
the use of a 10W-40 or a 20W-50 engine oil, respectively. These products will provide excellent performance
in motorcycle engines that are designed with a common engine/transmission lubrication system or where the
engine lubrication system is separate from the transmission system. In the case of the latter, follow the
manufacturer's recommendation for the type of fluid to be used in the transmission. Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40
and Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 engine oils are also designed to provide the proper frictional characteristics necessary
for wet-clutch engine/transmission systems. Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 and Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 exceed the
requirements of API Service Categories SJ, SH, SG/CF, CD and JASO MA . They have been fully tested, both
on laboratory dynamometers and in the field, to provide optimum horsepower and acceleration.
