Mobil 1 15w/50 Full Synthetic Oil?

I called Mobil 1 help and they told me they do not make a lube that fills the requirement of BMW for the R18.. So I am using the BMW recommended oil, this was their suggestion ! ! I am a firm user of Mobil 1 jp
 
For what it is worth .. I am using 'Motorex' Boxer 4T 15-50 at the moment .. something the dealer put in .. but I will be changing to (in another 1000 miles) to BelRay 'Thumper' 15-50. Always been fond of BelRay oils and it worked really well in my 'Chromehead' (but there is use the 20-50 version)
Just my 2¢
I am looking forward to what people say about the Mobil Oil.

Walmart sells 5qt containers for only $25.
 
Motul 300V 15W50 T 4L jug $63.00 on Amazon
End of the story.
Better than anything I ever tried, and believe me, I tried a few manufacturers!
Give it a shot, you'll love it.
 
Been running that in my 2013 R1200GS since it's first oil change and have been happy with the performance. I don't plan on using it on the R18 at this point.
 
I used Mobil1 15w-50 for 14 years in my dry clutch R1200C. That boxer motor is remarkably similar to the R18 except for 3 main bearings in the R18 instead of 2 in the R1200c.
