http://www.pqiamerica.com/June%202014/consolidated%20HDEO%202015.htmlThank you, Springman, for finding the new HDEO listing, that makes the search much easier, being able to see what all the current offerings are really like.
However, in scanning the chart I see the increased use of other "energy star" types of things as the ZDDP goes down yet again. Look down the chart for titanium and boron compounds as they are apparently subbing them in for moly (all of which are trying to replace ZDDP as the caps get lower and lower on phosphorus).
This is sad to say, but this new HDEO listing reminds me of a listing of SL car oils from 3 years ago ......
============================
Since there are no acceptable oils any more
we are going to have to bump from this point forward.
We are now trying to AVOID the old energy star compounds like Moly as much as possible in picking our oils.
We don't know about Boron compounds for slippage yet, but we do note that Rotella Triple Protect dino has gone away from Moly (in the Rot Dino anyway) to the Boron compounds.
http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=729116Have to keep an eye on it, but so far in my bike the Boron compounds being used do slip less than the Moly compounds used to before.
I for one am going to bump Rot dino, as it lacks the known bad moly issues. I also note that use of moly in full syn T-6 is now up to 68 ppm and that should be a warning point if folks start to see any warm up clutch slippage using T-6.
Age of your clutch is a factor, mine is
well abused from a lot of mountain trips and if the warm up slippage returns it will require attention at next cover off (for whatever reason I have to take the cover off).
