If a owner decide to use mobil delvac 1 10w-40 with api and ch rating.

 

Will the warranty be void?

 

Mobil delvac 1 is a fully synthetic oil mean for commercial vehicles.

It's meant for both petrol and diesel engine.

Saw Mobile selling Mobile 1 for motoercycle at mobile some time back, cost abt $22 plus. Anyone tried out :confused:

From what I know.

 

Mobil 1 for bike was good until 1999.

 

The compound that Mobil was using for their fully synthetics was PAO.

 

This is the classification for engine oil.

 

Group 1 - mineral

Group 2 - better mineral

group 3 - best mineral / semi syn

group 4 - 100% pao fully syn

group 5 - 100% ester fully syn

 

Any mixture of type may and will result in the drop of group class.

eg. from group 5 fully ester, mix 70% ester with 30% pao or mineral will result a drop to group 4.

 

Now take note on group 4 and 5. they are fully syn. but ester is the best actually.

but before mid 80s, it was not commonly used because, esther actually cause rubber seals to swell up. Esthers are only use in race track whereby they actually rebuilt their machine every few race. so the seal swelling is not actually a problem.

 

But for normal usage, it was not ideal. The first usgae was mix with pao to minimised the swelling. but the disadvantage is that it becomes a group 4.

 

It's only the later part that they perfect the oil with full esther contents without swelling the seals. A additive was added to solved the problems Mobil still uses PAO til 1999.

 

In mid 1990s, castrol start using a super grade 3 mineral oil 70% and add 30%of so call super additive. It enable this oil formulation to perform as good as synthetics. And they market it as fully synthetic.

 

A law suit was brought against them by Mobil. and it went on for 3years and mobil lost. This is because there's no proper defination in law terms regarding what a fully synthetics should be. Castrol claims, anything synthetic is man made. and mineral oil is also man made as crude oil cannot be used straight into the engine. thereforre can still be term as synthetic for mineral oil, as long human intervention is used to extract refine and adding additives. Plus if performance is the same as fully synthetics, why not. and they won.

 

So in 1999. Mobil also follows the same path as the profit is 5 times more when u market a super mineral as a fully synthetics.

 

So most oil out there now are actually "semi-syn" by our defination.

 

The only pure fully syn oil are as follows:

 

Shell rotella (a comercial fleet fully syn oil) pure PAO

Mobil delvac 1 (for comercial fleet) pure PAO

Fuchs pro 4 is ester mixed already only the pro4 plus is still fully ester.

REdline engine oil is fully ester

Amsoil is also fully ester

 

There's also another infos I personally find it very interesting.

I cannot comments much until I tried it for myself.

 

If you bike calls for a max 40 grade oil eg. 15w 40. stick to it.

Both X9 engine and G-max 150 actually calls for a 15w 40 oil.

WE can ignore the 15w as there's no winter here.

 

Now alot of us(I used to do that) uses grade 50 oil thinking that a thicker oil

protects better. Well it's true to a certain extent.

 

The disadvantage is the oil will not last.

Reasons?

 

Oil is thicker so during operation, there will be more heat fro the "oil friction"

Thicker oil dissipates heat slower. it tends to retain more heat. Thus with all the heat. the oil actually breaks down faster.

 

So that's why we experience the oil like weqar out at 2000~3000km after changing.

 

Some guy in the forum, actually did a test. He tried both 40 and 50 on his Frazer 600. It too calls for a 40 grade.

His verdict is the 40 oil will last 4000+ closing to 5000 while the 50 oil last the most 3000km+.

 

The diff he quote was using the 50 oil, it sound a bit quieter. But more sluggish.

40 oil is a little noisy but smoother.

 

I have yet to try out but will try soon.

tat's good info. :thumb:

wat do you think about 40 oil to be use on older bike, is it recommended? :confused:

With every good wishes

Well,

 

If you bike is 5 years old, have a good amount of normal wear and tear on the

Piston rings and cylinder wall, Yes, it's a good ideal.

There is no use in friendship with an ungrateful person.

Anger comes as a result of intolerance.

One who can maintain peace of mind is happy.

Happy is he who killed his own anger.
