Hi Jeff

It is a grade thinner when hot, so I would only consider it in an emergency. 

A better option might be MC-4ST 10W-60 (100% PAO & ESTER) . The differenec in 10W vs 15W grades only meaningful in extremeemly cold environments, which we dont really reach in Australia.

What bike is the oil for and I will see what we recommend?

Cheers
