The viscosity drop is not good and wear metals are high. You could always try another oil. RL or Amsoil may hold up better. Hard to tell. Could be the way this particular engine is wearing, and no oil can improve it. Some oils do a better job of keeping a better piston/ring seal.
M1 makes very poor motorcycle oils for the price. In my bikes it sheared so fast you could time it with a stopwatch and shift quality suffered for it.
For the price,and performance there isn't an oil out there that matches conventional rotella.
Yes there are better oils at 5x the price but I don't need them.
