Agree, the extra additives wont do harm with one small possible catch, and again, Im not really hung up on using any specific lubricant in my transmission, that is why I just go with the flow on the Formula+, tested tried and true.
At the same time, like previous posts, it doesnt mean for fun I might throw something else in there.
Ok, back to the possible catch. Not spoken of in this forum much, if at all are the antifoam properties of oils for motorcycles.
Being I am using a specific transmission formula I know any foaming concerns are taken care of.
But some oils do foam more easily then others and I believe they are tested for this, or something like that. Sometimes I wonder if less additives more resistance to foaming? I have no clue and honestly dont think to much about the reasons, all I know, all oils cost pennies to produce, with a lot of additives or a little so I think they know more then me.

Who knows? maybe the oils with less additives have a higher film strength that far exceeds the protection of more additives. Like pasta, so many ways to cook it.

What if the oils with more additives are making up for cheaper oils or refining process that doesnt produce high film protection?
Some metric bikes with the glass windows instead of a dipstick, this can be seen with certain oils, foaming, whether or not it matters, most likely not too much but for us in this forum it may as we are always looking for the Holy Grail. .
Hope this makes sense ... still waking up ...
