[ST] Mobil 1 15W-50 SuperSyn Oil



At the outset I'd like to state that I'd prefer that this does not evolve into another
full-blown oil thread.  Specifically I'd rather not receive everyone's opinion as to which
is the best oil to use.  I do, however, wish to poll the listers for some specific oil
information.

My goal is to determine, if possible, whether the Mobil 1 15W-50 SuperSyn full-synthetic
oil ('red cap') that is available from WalMart, will cause any clutch problems on our
bikes or not.

I already know that this oil is NOT labelled as 'EC' or 'energy-conserving', which
normally is a good thing, and means that it doesn't contain friction modifiers that can
cause wet clutch slippage.  However, in addition to the API SH rating (which is also a
good thing), this oil is also rated API SJ.
