Does anyone know if the Triumph Mobil Racing 4T is the same as Mobil 1 MX4T?

If not what is the difference...other than the label and the cost.

Yes, I have been to that site and it really doesn't give the information I was looking for in my post.

MX4T seems to meet all the requirements for Triumph motor oil. I imagine it is the same exact oil in a different bottle...just looking for confirmation or contradiction.

I would say that the MX4T is just a newer version of the old 4T.

that is a great site,this was very interesting,it has come up a lot on this forum.

One of the myths surrounding synthetic oils is that new engines require a break-in period with conventional oil. The fact is, current engine manufacturing technology does not require this break-in period. As indicated by the decisions of the engineers who design the high-performance bikes listed above, Mobil 1 can be used starting the day you drive the bike off the showroom floor.


Myth: You should break in your engine with conventional oil, then switch to a synthetic oil like Mobil 1.
Reality:
You can start using Mobil 1? in new vehicles at any time, even in brand new vehicles. In fact, Mobil 1 is original equipment (it is installed at the factory) in:
triumph

from what i can gather on this site the oil you mention,will be perfect for your tiger.it looks like thay have just changed the name,and maybe dropped the vicosity slightly.

MX4T is a 10w40 and the old mobil 1 oil that triumph recomend in there handbook is 15w40.
there is no refeence to mobil racing 4T so i would say its the same stuff,ring mobil if your not sure,or ring triumph they are very helpfull (i have rung a few times)

I don`t know how hot it gets in Kansas City so i can only say that this oil will be thiner than a 15w oil. you can always put another make of synth/oil in your bike as long as it meets the oil spec required.
