Most engine oils are from Citgo. Including the 20W-40 and 25W-50.
Most greases from Chemtool.
Fuel Stabilzer from Shrader Canada Ltd
Fuel System Treatment & Stabilizer (Concentrate) from Gold Eagle Co (this should ring a bell )

Motorcycle oils are made for gear synchronization and allowing some friction for the internal clutch packs - many people in the bike world have had clutch slippage issues when using medium to high base moly formulated oils in their motorcycles. (Basically in laymans terms engine oils that are too slippery)
There is a reason that a bike is pictured on the bottle. I understand u have not had a failure using this motor oil but most likely would not have any failures with straight 40 w bought under the O Reilly's name either. Current Motor oils is not the primary factor of engine failure anyways. overheat, detonation, poor fuel and or fuel systems issues, dirt, lack of maintenance - totally wrong motor viscosity, and so on are. the root of engine failures. Just my 2 cents

Since we know 25w50 is 50 weight at 212* The question is what is viscosity at 180* where most of us run . Probably less that 50weight .
So if I want 50 weight protection the only way would be to use a straight 50 weight oil. Right? Otherwise at lower temps it could be 30weight..
