I just spent a few minutes on Klotz's web site, looking at their MX-4 10W-40 motorcycle oil. While they describe their oil as synthetic, I could find no place where they describe it as "Group 5." They did have a nice link explaining the different oil groups, however.
I found an interesting item in the Tech Sheet for MX-4. They had a line marked "Film Strength". On a scale of 1=failure and 10=No Wear, the MX-4 was rated 9. I suppose that means it is just short of "No Failure." MX-4 is also supposed to have that "Race Smell" and as someone said, it is RED. It also has some sort of "Biodegradeability" which is said to be 60%. That would make suspicious little me think that perhaps it is 40% something like Group 3 and 60% Group 5, but that is just a guess.

Klotz is not made by mere mortals like us,... and so it is not bound by the restrictions of our earthly physics or chemistry...

Charlie check out their wear rating on MX 15w-50w thats what I use.

Its nice Charlie can re class oil the way he wants them instead of going by what they really are.I think I will re class the S40 and say its a 550.

I repeat, Bill, my user name is Charon. I have no idea where you dreamed up "Charlie." I also have no idea what you might mean by your inane last post.

Bill, prove your statement by posting the link from Klotz's website that says it is Group V. Then remember that Group V is an "everything else" group which can include vegetable oils such as castor oil.

discussion -- we all agreed last time that we would all forgo the use of tactical nukes and similar weapons of mass destruction in any future oil wars.

Oil thread wars sure are fun, but this one is even more so -- given that we're talking about a low state-of-tune, low horsepower, low rpm engine. Maybe 25 hp out of 39 cubic inches? My wife's Hyundai is more high strung than that and it gets bulk dino oil renewed every 5K miles (that exceeds the owner's manual recommendation). I full well expect it to go 200K miles without an oil-related problem. Who can tell us about a Savage/S40 engine breakdown that was
only
the fault of the oil?

Nobody -- but they sure can tell you some examples of dead engines due to
not having any oil at all
in the crankcase.
We do have some dead heads historically due to low oil pressure, but that wasn't the oil's fault -- the owner/operator ran the idle rpm below 1,000 RPM and starved the head bearings due to lack of oil pressure.
Message there is
USE OIL, keep it visible in the window at all times
. Keep your idle RPM up over 1,000 rpm to have oil pressure up to the head at all times.
Now if you really want to use a
good
oil, I'd recommend ......
