DO NOT run any oil with moly, 99% of car oil has moly. The oil you mentioned has moly. It will make your clutch slip.

 this is not true                                         
moble one is not going to make your clucth slip   it is a great oil      i have used it in many high performance bike motors that i have built over the years   from 7 sec  drag bikes to  high 3 sec  300 foot drag banshees  and  never had  a clucth problem

That oil is not recommended for a wet clutch application. Call the oil manufacturer they will confirm my information. I never said is wasn't good oil. I use it in the engine side of my 450R. I use Golden Spectro in the transmission side. Since my 450R has seperate oil for thr engine and the trans I can use it.
