No, I don't remember the moly content.
I'm getting it amazon $41.00 for 5 liters
Don't know what the previous owner had in the motor, been using it in my Dyna for a couple years. Truck too
I just bought some bel-ray ATF for the primary, haven't changed it yet. |

Someone said they ran Castrol R-bean oil in the crank of their four-stroke
I didn't think it would hold up to the heat for long
Used to run that in my two-strokes in the 70's. Never forget that smell!
Fouled plugs often, but it was the slickest oil I ever came across
