I have been using Wolfs Head SAE 40 for 12 years in the V7 I pulled the pan a
lot at first now MAYBE every 2years.
I have thought about Mobil 1 15W-50 though, reason being is I have noticed
carbon flakes apparently coming from the underside of the piston, which I
assume is the oil getting hot and carbonizing.
The bike runs great and has good oil pressure and still has great
compression. I can't complain about the old straight weight oil at all. Im
used to the single weight oil from work.....very common on the Detroit
Diesels.
