Well that is just Mobil producing the two different oils that the 
market needs.
On one side you have the automotive people, their oils need all the 
friction modifiers that they can reliably use. They need them to make 
the oil perform better under the conditions that automotive engines run in.

Then there are the motorcyclists that also have hi rev-ing engines 
with extreme protection needs, but also have wet clutches to 
complicate the calculations.
