Thanks for posting this . . . of course, now we will distort our oil discussions with factual information :D

If you REALLY are the type(like me) who just needs MORE detail...or finds themselves waiting seemingly endless hours for flights/women shopping for waaay overpriced shoes, dresses, etc...Motor Oil 101 - Bob is the Oil Guy should be a fine follow-on to the previous article!

YES there IS a quiz!:lol:

Re: Another oil thread (with a difference).

I like the first sentence, and yes, it is just another oil thread.


I am not a lubrication, filtering, chemical or mechanical engineer. I have a degree in engineering, but I studied electrical engineering. I now study physics. You may feel free to question my abilities to gather facts and draw conclusions in the area of oils and filters. In any case, this is a write up of what I learned in about 75 hours of research on this topic.

My only interest is having my motorcycle run forever, never break, and be easy to maintain.


Makes me want to read and believe all it says. But it is on the internet, so it must be true. :facepalm:

This is why I follow the posts of Don S.- He knows his chit and he is funny too!

We can only hope that he has milk and chilly for dinner again sometime soon.

OK... So Chris, after reading that I'm still a little confused. What is the best oil for my PRE-ALPHA Mercruiser? You know the one with the 2 propellers on it? JUST KIDDING!! :lol::lol::lol:
