V Twin Diff. Grey vs Black Bottle?

No luck searching threads or calling Mobil. I have M1 V Twin in grey/silver and black bottles. Is there any difference and does it matter? Black is API SG, SH/CF, JASO MA. Silver is API SJ,API SG,SH,CF. Thanks. Ronnie.

Black bottle is the previous packaging. The gray is the newest bottle

And is there any difference in the contents? Like the cars, is the black faster?

Those black bottles have to be pretty old. More than 2 years. Mobil made that packaging change a long time ago.

Yup, about 3 anyway. V Twin is 1/2 the price in USA so I stock up when I'm there. Have Techron in the classic bottle too. Wonder if it's appreciated as much as the car? Almost sold 'em to Wilhoit but thought I'd be too pissed when I saw them go up for another 25%.
