Here we go.. 7100 is clearly labeled SG. Smells nice, too. SN oils are not necessarily backward compatible.. if it doesn't say SG on the jug, it's not.<whistling>
Anybody else here recall the thread from years back about the Bay Area riders who were using corn oil in their rear ends? I can't be the only one!
I'm finding it more difficult to source the Molycote product here in Oz.
I bought some 99% pure molybdenum disulfide powder years ago from eBay. I've added a pinch or two to my final drive oil on every bike I've had when changing the oil. Voila, now I don't have to worry about buying it with the additive already in it. Not to mention the powder is good to have around for lots of other things needing lubed up. It's some slippery stuff. The "most slippery thing on the planet" they say.
So, since the manual says "Any quality 10W60 meeting standard 'SG' ",
Just for clarification:"As an alternative to therecommended oils, you can also use brandname oils with performance that meets orexceeds the CCMC G-4 A.P.I. SG standards."
Technically, I wonder if the "or exceeds" part is really necessary, not just here but in any spec. "Exceeds" implies "meets" every time, I think. I was never a technical writer at work, so I don't know if that's a "term of art" or just boilerplate.Kev m does this stuff for a living still, maybe he'd know "why"?Lannis
