Idemitsu begins each new product development with an ultrahigh-quality base oil. Engineers adjust this base with anti-foam and anti-wear agents, corrosion inhibitors, friction modifiers, and anything else needed to maximize the oil’s properties for use with a particular engine.

The new formula undergoes extensive clinical trials. These trials inform further refinement as the formula is adjusted, improved, and tested again until it’s deemed suitable for field tests.

Modern motorcycle manufacturers knew automobile oil could never meet the extreme demands of motorcycle engines. Four manufacturers aligned to create the Japanese Automotive Standards Organization (JASO) to define criteria exclusively for powersports oils.
On the back of every JASO-certified oil you’ll find a seal indicating MA or MB formulation for that product.
These designations provide further information regarding which type of oil is right for your powersports product.
MA – These are moly-supplemented oils formulated for “one system” usage—that is, an oil system designed for combined engine, gearbox and wet clutch lubrication.
MB – These are lower-friction oils. Use when separate fluids are required for engine, clutch and gearbox lubrication. Oils w/o moly have an MB rating—HP4M.
