Default mobil 1 15/50

Has anyone tried Mobil 1 syn for cars on a twin cam 88. Its cheaper than motorcycle oil and has the diesel ratings

I used this in my 98 evo and the front jug started to leak a little. I went to regular oil and then amsoil synthetic and the leak stopped. Coincidence???

There are tons of people here using it. Even if its not labeled V-twin, it far exceeds MoCos specs and tests right up there with the high priced boutique oils.

Most guys I know run it, including many TC's with over 100,000 miles on the clock.
