The return of the Mobile 1 15w-50 Red cap???coreyperez 09-14-2008, 02:14 PM I was looking to get some more 10w-40 Amsoil but hadn't been really impressed with it (engine making more noise and clunking shifting since swapping to Amsoil after Mobile quit the 15-50 a couple years ago).
So, Just on a whim, I went to their site and...
http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Oils/Mobil_1_15W-50_.aspx
Does anybody know if this is the same stuff? if it is, I'm going to buy about 50 gal!
Thanks! :rock
Corey Kentktk 09-14-2008, 08:04 PM On that Mobil 1 website they show a motorcycle specific 10w40. Why not just use that? coreyperez 09-15-2008, 03:02 PM I've been using Amsoil 10w-40 since the redcap went away and I'm not impressed with it. Too much noise and harder to shift. Plus... The cost. The Red Cap was a few bucks a quart vs. almost $8 a quart.
Loved that stuff.
I may have to contact Mobile 1 to find out if the oil is the same product!

Mobil 1 for a few bucks a quart?
I've never seen any synth oil for less than 8-9 bucks a quart.

Do you mean the older style black cap? Because i have tons of red caps in the garage, and just looked on amsoil website, and they still sell red cap 10w 40. :dunno bodge 10-06-2008, 07:59 AM Did you use the 15w 50 in the R1? If so did it smooth out the shifting any? or quiet the engine at all? Oil Doc 10-28-2008, 01:05 PM Why are you comparing a 10W-40 oil to a 15W-50 oil ? You are a whole range apart.
Go to the AMSOIL 20W-50 Product Code MCV. At least you would be comparing similar products..
Your bike calls for a 10W-40 from the OEM.. Using a higher viscosity oil will not give you any better protection and in fact will cause a loss of HP, loss of fuel mileage and elevated oil temps.
