Years ago we tested a very thin oil from Shell & their view was it would be more efficent than the heavier oils as it did not need to get up to temperture to be at working viscosity. It was a good oil but very expensive. A former Oxford rider used Mobil 1 from the garage for a while.

We run putoline in our 250cc never a problem . Had found it is a thicker oil than most speedway type oils we always change every meeting

I think I'm right in saying, Gary Havelock used Mobil 1, at some point. Trouble is, you are starving the fans of the perfume!

Motorex 10W-60 is the answer.
