Default Oil spec & data sheets on your favorite oils

Oil data decided to share it after years and years (hours) of research I found a way to order the data sheet from the HarleyDavidson oil company as well. It’s in the mail. For now here is Mobil 1, VR1, regular Valvoline 20 50, Castrol GTX 20 50 and the ever available $16 for 5qrt bottle (Costal) wich is Super Tech Walmart brand made by Warren oil Co. and what I’m using now regular Dino 🦕 2050 🦖 no motorcycle pic on the bottle and why I did all this research 🧐 enjoy fam….

quick user guide:
viscosity Index - how long it takes to pour a certain distance the thickness

Cst SUS - same as above only measured at different temperatures using different scales

zinc - this crap they got rid of because of emissions but is important it coats surfaces in light zinc coating keeps protected lubed and lasting longer

Ash & phosphorus SAPS - this keeps the zinc from oxidizing instantly it works with the zinc one won’t work without the other and higher the better but truth is it doesn't take all that much VR1 is probably a bit over kill. P.s. I’m not sure oil is from dinosaurs btw i don’t 🛸 think they know what it is either well those ufos 🛸 🐄 the government admitted to being here probably know 😜 merica🇺🇸! Pics & info ⬇️👇

Ride Hard,
Johnny

Analisys Paralysis...

Another one who is obsessed with spec sheets.

Just dump in any automotive or mc 20w50, it will be fine.

Over 300000 miles on a few bikes and been using Mobil 1 and going to keep using it. I don't care if something else is cheaper or claimed to be better.

Ever think about a tune?
You need different pipes. NOT back pressure.
