I have used this product in my 'Diesel' (non two stroke) since its second oil change and at 66K and 11 seasons, I would say it's doing its job. This is a semi synthetic oil, which my owners manual says is suitable for my engine, but do check your manual before you start using the full synthetic. In a conversation with the Motul people at Laguna a few years back, I asked the oil life expectancy of this product. They recommended around 5200-5500 K is the max a consumer should go, so that works out to a season for most of us.

Great oil. The "smooth shifting" formula really makes a difference. Had Motul in my old race bike. Switched to another name brand synthetic from a sponsor. Shifting became more difficult. Changed back to Motul & shifting got easier. I would not have have believed it if not for this experience. I have run it exclusively ever since. Great oil, and no engine problems.

The review prompt asks ?what does it look like in real life?? Well the outside was a black plastic jug as expected. The branding was some sort of paper affixed to the jug, I imagine with some kind of adhesive, possible a sticker? But who really knows, that?s between motul and their god.As for the inside, it was full of viscous liquid, also as expected. When I poured it into the 2012 Bonneville, the jug was like ?glugglugglugglug? and towards the end of the jug it made a ?doopdoopdoop? sound. The bike said ?bet! good lookin out fam, I?m not tryna seize up lmao.?I almost gave this 4 stars because I didn?t much care for the taste, it was minerally and had a strange dinosaur-y after taste. I kept it 5 stars because it seems like pretty good oil, I can tell because my ... MoreThe review prompt asks ?what does it look like in real life??

I kept it 5 stars because it seems like pretty good oil, I can tell because my engine didn?t break which is always a plus. I went with 15w this time around because I read that it can help reduce the clunk when shifting- I think it did a little bit but I have not performed a decibel test. cheers.
