My Dad runs this in his Harley air cooled and has for 30K+ trouble free miles. We have both wondered if it would be ideal for the 914's as well. Out of both our engineering camps, so need an oil expert to examine the contents of this oil and add some info.

OOPs. I intended this to go with the Mobil1 20-50 V-Twin air cooled oil posting.

I work in the farm diesel industry and was taught that Delo 400 and Rotella T were engineered for over-the-road diesel trucks. Those oils are loaded with sulfated ash to offset the sulfer in diesel fuel.
When used in gas powered tractors, we found a lot of torched valves.
I'm not sure how they perform under high RPM's.

Just an observation.

Don't think you have it quite right, sulfated ash was a diesel combustion by-product that could plug exhaust gas particulate filters.
Our engines don't have particulate filters and the oil additive packages have long changed.

Valvoline VR1 Racing 20-50 high Zinc formula for older cars. Easy to get at the FLAPS.

I used to run Brad Penn, but read a test where the Valvoline out performed it. Why spend more? And, I can't get it as easy.

VR-1 20w-50

Not sure if it comes in a 15/40 weight but I'd give that a shot for the cooler months.
