Yes it is gone but I am interested how the Amsoil 20w50 Motorcycle oil compares to it. Nobody has posted analysis data on the new Amsoil RD50 Dominator oil that replaced the Series 2000.

Here's the best I can answer this question comparing the RD50 by Amsoil to the MCV:
Kinematic Viscosity on the MCV is thicker which means the thickness of an oil between the pison/rings and cylinder wall basically.
Viscosity Index in the MCV is lower. Viscosity Index measures how much the oil is going to change viscosity due to temperature. The higher the number of the Viscosity Index, the less it's going to change.
Noack Volatility is higher on the RD50. Basically this means that the lower number is better because the higher the number means it's going to evaporate more and not last as long.
Basically my understanding of the RD50 is it's for racing. It's meant to be changed alot more then a "standard" oil; however, in that short time that the RD50 is in the engine the RD50 could do a better job of lubricating. If it was me I would run the MCV over the RD50 because I wouldn't want to change the oil after every trip to Havasu.

[QUOTE=Rage;2920080]Call you post the oil analysis on these two oils?
IQUOTE]
Rage, I have the reports you are asking for but I cannont post them, membership restrictions.
Get a e-mail address up here and I will send them to you.

You noted before that the M1 V Twin hot viscosity had a greater margin than the Ansoil Series 2000 20W50 which was borderline for W50 rating. Does the Amsoil MCV 20W50 have the same hot viscosity margin as the M1 V Twin 20W50? I still experience high oil temperatures during extended WOT running and a higher hot viscosity margin is desireable to me to keep the oil pressure up during such times.
Can you share any of the Amsoil MCV oil analysis reports or indicate where they might be obtained/viewed?

Well thanks Ken! I will PM my Email address to you.
I did not know there was such a restriction. I admit that I am lazy about reading fine print. I think I posted some a while back. I will avoid doing in the future.
