Spectro is pricey, but I havn't known anybody yet that runs it who's had tranny problems.

Where I usta be employed we had it by the 30 gallon drums and when the pumper wouldnt pick it up any more they would toss the gallon or so in the bottom. I just started to collect the leftover till I had a 5 gallon pail. Not bad in my book.

Yea the guys at Spectro know what they are doing unlike some of these companies that do just what Lou was talking about take somebody elses oil add some modifiers stick a label on it and say "This is the best oil on the planet". Spectro actually does testing and research.

What about GL-2 to 4 and GL-6? Darn, I gotta find the oyl I got for the Glide last fall and see what it is. And it's at the back of the pile of motorsickles in the grudge...



Van ain't in there now, got a bunch of the daughter's stuff on the floor, that's even worse, can't just back it out in the drive.
