It is a great site, but I don't know if it is being maintained anymore.
About a year ago I tried to send email to Mark at the link provided and the email bounced.

He's got some great information, but some of his oil information needs to be updated, specifically regarding Mobil-1 Truck and SUV oil (that particular name is now a 5w30 and not acceptable for bikes anymore, and it's replacement, M1 TurboDiesel, does not appear to be readily available), and also the recent change of M1 15w50 from the gold to the silver cap has resulted in an API-SM blend that caused clutch slippage on my bike.
