From the Redline site, it can be seen the Automotive and V-Twin 20-50 products are, understandably, quite similar but are not exactly the same.

Work's fine for me. I still use the old school straight weight Formula + gear oil in the transmission and primary. The Mobile V is needed in the combination gear/engine combination boxes on the large metric cruisers. If you want to keep the alarm level down when your friends drop over to knock down a few cold ones and change their oil, do what I do.

I've use M1 V-twin for a while. I just picked up a case of Castrol V-twin because it seemed to get decent enough reviews and was considerably cheaper than the M1.

I been thinking about doing that. I use the 15-50 in my john deere 318 Onan engine. Considering the cost of v twin and AmsOil I've strongly considered putting the 15-50 in my dyna.

Bullshit!
