Re: Lubricants

I've been feeding my Ducati and Moto Guzzi motorcycles, Toyota MR2 and 
Alfa Romeo Spider on a steady diet of Mobil 1 15w50 for many years. It 
seems to work extremely well. 

On the Ducatis, in which the gearbox and engine share oil reservoir, I 
find that Torco 20w50 MPZ Synthetic is just a smidge better (it improves 
the shifting marginally), but it's about 4x the cost per quart ... Mobil 
1 is available here in discount stores for $3.40/qt and Torco MPZ 
Synthetic is $12.80/qt. It's not THAT much better.
