So to my way of thinking if moly is good, why isn't Redline the best oil to use? (I use Redline in all 3 by the way.)

In the schem of things, using low grade lubercant verses high grade lubercant would cost you less than 200.00 per year. Why not just go with the good stuff for that price difference ?

for the same reason that I don't run race fuel in my Road Glide, it accomplishes nothing and is a waste of hard earned money, ( except that it makes some people just feel better...)
