Everybody has their pet theories or knowledge of oil.....but in 45 years of driving which probably amounts to over half a million miles in cars in hot and cold climates, and 100,000 additional miles on two wheels in air and water-cooled engines I have never had any failure or issue with any oil or any engine. I replace the oil as specified by the manufacturer, I've used all kinds of oils and have had good experience with all of them. If you are afraid of using a 5W-40 oil instead of a 10W-30 than go ahead and use what you want, but you are deluding yourself into thinking it makes any real world difference. Don't get hung up on specs and old wives tales.

What he said, it's really more about clean oil-good

If it were for me I would get the Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 4T Motorcycle Racing Oil if you are going with Mobil 1. To my understanding:
"Motorcycle oil" doesn't have moly, (like a car engine needs but the wet clutch on a bike does not), and it does have phosphorus which a car engine doesn't need.
