O.K.
I just gotta stop you right here and now.
The video is a total fabrication.  I watched as they poured " petroleum oil ", " 10w what ever" into white bottles, put the bottles of "oil" into cardboard boxes to ship off,
from a nice clean, no, spotless facility.

Nope. Not real. Total fabrication.
I change the oil on my Guzzi, Dodge P/U, hell my lawn mower, and I have oil on the floor, walls, up to my elbows, and that's if I'm being careful !!!!

So no, the video is an obvious fabrication, and anything said is just propaganda.  ( I assume, I mean I haven't really watched the whole thing )

Interesting information pertaining to oils and their compatability to engines of varying vintage and fuel usage from the American Petroleum Institute.
 http://www.api.org/products-and-services/engine-oil/eolcs-categories-and-documents/oil-categories#tab_gasoline (http://www.api.org/products-and-services/engine-oil/eolcs-categories-and-documents/oil-categories#tab_gasoline)

Some very good reading here, take a look around.

That's how you can tell they faked the moon landing. That lander thingy didn't leak at all. Totally fake ...

Neither link talks about zink levels and the flat tappet Armageddon that occurs when an oil lacks it. Just sayin'.

 What! You are saying they produce an oil that does not leak out of an engine or gear box under any circumstances?
 Won't Old Harley owners and classic Brit bike owners be happy!

Naw, the lander wouldn't have leaked - it was built by Grumman. Now, if Harley Davidson had been the contractor....  :evil:

If you don't know anything about motor oils this is good   Too bad it's just about water cooled motors.

I have an oil pressure gauge on my CX100 where you can see the pressure from startup to all day hot conditions.  It's really interesting how the oil pressure fluctuates in different conditions.

If you look at the Guzzi presentation of how to strip down your Breva 750 you will see that Senor Whiteglove's gloves stay pristine from go to whoa. :shocked: When I did my gearbox there was oil everywhere. :rolleyes:
