Mobile 1 5w-40 truck/SUV oil.
Rebadged (most think) Delvac 1 with no moly.

HP4 is one of the worst performing oils out there......Go with another brand.quote:

I got an email from an Amsoil tech that says that the 10W40 AMO and AMF are both JASO MA rated. He said they are the exact same oils, just packaged different for marketing purposes. At least where I buy mine they don't charge more for the motorcycle version, so at least they are honest. Is the Amsoil 10W40 a full PAO synthetic?quote:

Amsoil's 10W-40 products (AMO & AMF) ARE reportedly essentially the same oil. They make 3 different 20W-50 products: the Racing 20W-50 (TRO) is different from the other two 20W-50's (ARO & AMV) which are also ESSENTIALLY the same.
I believe the AMO, AMF, ARO & AMV products are all JASO MA rated. Many believe the AME 15W-40 100% synthetic product is every bit as acceptable in a wet clutch bike (& is cheaper, too).
I don't know about Red Cap M1 15W-50 (vis'-a-vis' a formulation change after the SL designation) but if it doesn't slip in a Hayabusa application it SURELY shouldn't slip in a 4-stroke single!
Nothing wrong with a single, 2 or 4-stroke:freak:
