• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Amsoil package change for their 10W40 Metric Motorcycle Oil

Did you ask why the change?
So you are saying that this oil has replaced the other oil?

Not really sure what to think about this. I hope they still get it right. I have been using Amsoil for my Spyder.

Hopefully they are doing the right thing. Sometimes new management
gets involved. I have not heard anything.
 
I just checked my Amsoil book, and they still have the Metric in 5W40, and four other oils in different grades that are classified as motorcycle oils in different grades also. They are all wet clutch classified!

I received the new oil and did some looking at what the new API SP spec was about. Has to do with dealing with LSPI (Low Speed Pre Ignition) and greater heat tolerance. Should be important for those of you who like to run the lower octane fuels!
 
They have changed the name/packaging for the MCF part number at least 3 times over the past 25 years and who knows how many times the actual formulation has been changed/improved?

When I signed up as a dealer there were only 2 motorcycle/powersports oils. MCF 10W40 and MCV 20W50. Now we have 13 different powersports oils on the shelf that move pretty frequently, but probably don't even have half of what they offer today!

I do know Amsoil really gets down in the weeds with blending what they have found to be the perfect combo for the application, but I also I think it has more to do with marketing and people needing a reason to try "something new" more than anything else.
