I always make sure my gas cap clicks three times after I get on from the right side of my bike while giving the two fingers in a downward 'V' signal for using Amzoil in all three holes.

I've found that if you mix the by-product from turning goats milk into soap and some hydro-fracking run-off, you actually never have to change it
