Wow - the last couple of you on this thread discussing MA/MA2 have possibly helped in my next endeavor.

I doubt Mobile will answer.

Good question.

Oh and you're the one not answering questions. Just saying.
You are wrong, again. The search functions results return old posts. Just sayin... lol
Yeah, the usual's show up as they have for many years. And on a couple different forums.
I find it interesting that none of them will admit to the incorrect advertising of additives. They keep talking about meeting certifications. The same certifications other oils meet.
Anyway, thank all...

I was very tempted to switch from Mobile 1 v-twin 20/50 to mobile 1 synthetic 15w/50 but the more recent UOA/VOA show it has less additives then a few years ago.
Not saying it is still not an option. However, it looks no different then other options where as before it stood out.

Thats your UOA?? A little slow here....
Lots of people run 75w/90 in baggers . Many also run 75w/140. And many run Shockproof. Redline keeps pushing the Shockproof/Vtwin 75w/90, which they told me is thinner then Formual+, but its easy to find people that dont like it or dont notice a...
Thanks for posting the UOA correctly.
The fluids that have been used the most in HD transmissions are HD Syn 3 20/50, possibly Mobil 1 20/50 also, and Formula+. These spec out at ~20 VI @ 100cst and are GL1 and possibly GL3. Many use gear oils 75w/90 and 75w/140. Those are typically ~15 and...
