Current M1 V-twin is SJ and while it is the correct 20w/50 weight has more ZDDP than i desired except for a break in oil, it's P spec is 1750ppm and Zn is 1850
minimmum ZDDP specs for our cars want to be ~1000ppm

M1 Racing 4T 10w/40 is 1200/1300 a very good place to be
M1 turbo Diesel 5w-40 is 1100/1300
M1 truck & SUV 5w-30 is not only too light it's spec is 800/900

Plain ole M1 15w-50 whicch is what I have used for a few decades is 1200/1300

Driven Brad Penn(now called Penngrade 1) also have excellent oils that I've occasionally used
