I found a virgin oil analysis of Honda Gn4 10w30, comparing it to Mobil 1 5w30 and SuperTech 10w30.
I find it interesting because based on the molybdenum, zinc, and calcium, the T5 10w30 seems to be a better quality oil motorcycle oil than the Honda Gn4, despite not having any claims to meeting the JASON MA spec.
Zinc, calcium, phosphorus = good. Moly = Bad.
The Mobil 1 5w30 and SuperTech 10w30 are both automotive oils, which explains the high quantity of molybdenum, but I was surprised that the GN4 had pretty high moly content as well.
