Default Mobile 1 oil in a 2019 M8
I have used Mobile 1 15W50 synthetic in 2 different 88 CI twin cams with no problems took one down at 145k miles for rebuild and motor components looked good. Have a 2019 M8 ultra that is out of warranty now and thinking about using Mobile1 15W50 in it as well.
Anyone know of any issues using Mobile1 15W50 in the new M8 motors

I can't speak for everyone, but I've been using it in mine since 2017 without any issues. Just in the engine though. Formula+ in the trans and primary.

I run Mobile 1 V-twin full syn 20w-50 in my M8 engine only. I do not use it in the primary or trans.

The summers are really hot here, so I like the slightly higher 20w-50 viscosity.

I have Mobil 1 15/50 in my 2019 triglide, I put it in at the 1000 mile service; now has almost 11,000 miles with no problems.

What I have been doing for years. Motor only. Non detergent Formula in primary and transmission since they have no filter.

Virtually no wear in mechanical lifters in two Honda cars I have had from new. A 05 CRV with over100K when checked. A 07 CIVIC with 179K. (CIVIC had .002 in exhaust side)

But....Many piston airplane engines have no filter, still use detergent type oil...Lots of old motorcycles had no filer, but detergent oil was still spec`d.
