I was told by an old school Harley enthusiast to run Crisco vegetable oil in my primary. I thought if vegetable oil was so good wouldn't a high quality peanut oil be better?

 

Why hell yes. Why not just throw in a couple of french fries as well.
I don't think Crisco is best for our bikes, I always use Wesson and feel it is the best.

 

That's funny...betcha if you were to do an analysis of Formula+ it wouldn't be too far from it. In fact I'm willing to bet its a diesel motor oil similar to Shell Rotella.

 

It may work, it makes all kinds of stuff slippery in a "hot tub".

 

I could not resist. I have been so caught up in the great oil debate I needed a break.

It's funny how we worry about the oil in our bike so much. I have found oil threads that started in 1903.

Well guys have fun and now that you mention Wesson, I think we should get the friction machine out an test them.

 

I'm runnin' extra virgin olive oil cold pressed in mine......

 

yea, that old school harley guy probably drank hair tonic and after-shave when he was hard up too. that KY lubricating liquid should work just fine also.

 

I wish formula+ was that good

 

Please don't put Rotella in the same category as HD formula +, it's better and less expensive.

 

Reminds me of the movie with Kelsey Grammar where he was a submarine captain and was trying to out run another(Down Periscope I think). The old Chief Mechanic puts whiskey in the engine oil tank and says he gets 25 rpm extra
