This should be a decent oil, but not quite as good as some others. I don’t like it when oil companies give uninformed consumers useless information under the guise of appearing to be important. It does have some ester and they say the same things every other oil says. The Flash Point is the only useful clue, and it’s not good. The Flash Point is only normal for most average oils. Like I’ve said before, the important stuff is VI, NOACK, ZDDP / zinc, and HTHS. If the oil has exceptional numbers in those categories, they’ll shout it from the rooftops. Since they say very little and the Flash Point is mediocre, you can buy better oil for the same price.
Since the engine is new, your main concern should be putting real Break-in oil in the engine and doing the proper procedure. This has been discussed in other threads. Your engine has a cartridge oil filter. I would immediately epoxy the biggest super magnet I could onto the cover. That will pull out the iron particles smaller than 30 microns that the filter can’t stop. Order extra oil filters and change the oil and filter at 100 miles, 300 miles, and 600 miles. Don’t forget to clean the iron dust off the inside of the oil filter cover. It will look similar to the metal on the drain plug magnet. If you really want to help your engine, replace the Ducati magnetic drain plug with a higher quality more powerful magnet. If you’re really anal, you can remove the valve covers and put super magnets near the lobes of the camshafts. They make the magnets in the shape of a washer. Find a spot that doesn’t interfere with any sensor or has a clearance problem. You’ll probably need a 5mm longer bolt for a 5mm magnetic washer. You should only do this if you know what you’re doing. The biggest problem today seems to be with high camshaft wear. A magnet near the cam lobes will help keep the oil at the lobes as pure as possible. Now you’re ready to go. If you don’t know how, learn how to change your own oil and filter. The Ducati oil filter is as good as you’ll get. Never use one of those stainless steel reusable oil filters you see advertised.
