Is Mobil 1 synthetic oil good for motorcycles?
Table of Contents
Applications. Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 is specifically recommended by ExxonMobil for lubrication of four-stroke motorcycle engines in high performance motorcycles. Recommended by ExxonMobil for use in Harley-Davidson.
What is 10W 40?
10W-40 is the viscosity, or weight, of the motor oil as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE for short). A 10W-40 oil has a viscosity grade of 10W at a low temperature and 40 at a higher temperature. What does this mean, exactly? Motor oil thickens when it’s cold and becomes thinner when heated up.
What does 4T stand for in motorcycle oil?
A 2T oil is the engine oil to be used specifically for two stroke engines. And a 4T oil refers to four stroke engine oil. A 4T oil should be exclusively used in a four stroke engine and cannot be added to a two stroke engine.

What is Mobil 1 Racing™ 4T 10W‐40 motor oil?
Mobil 1 Racing™ 4T 10W‐40 is designed for sport bikes. Most of these bikes have multi-cylinder/multivalve engines and use a common sump, which means the engine oil lubricates the engine, transmission and wet clutch. So unlike Mobil 1 for cars, Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W‐40 motor oil has no friction modifiers, which could lead to clutch slippage.
Why choose Mobil 1 Racing 4T?
Excellent lubrication at cold operating conditions helping to enable easy starting, rapid wear protection and less drain on starter systems Mobil 1 Racing 4T is specifically recommended by ExxonMobil for lubrication of four-stroke motorcycle engines in high performance motorcycles
Can Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W‐40 cause clutch slippage?
So unlike Mobil 1 for cars, Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W‐40 motor oil has no friction modifiers, which could lead to clutch slippage. The motorcycle oil also has more phosphorus/zinc for enhanced wear protection at high engine speeds and high loads.
Why choose Mobil 1 synthetic motorcycle oil?
In addition to the overall benefits of high‐temperature stability and low volatility/low oil consumption, Mobil 1 synthetic motorcycle oils also offer superior anti‐corrosion performance compared to conventional motor oil, which is important in many parts of the country where bikes may sit in garages for several months of the year.
