I understood your post and was not replying to it. I was simply sharing a contrasting experience I had with FYG compared to other posters in the thread - the same as you in posts #21 and #22. I enjoyed reading your posts and gaining some insight into the industry. And just as I was wary of...

My original factory glass in my ‘21 Tundra was from Vitro, and the replacement from Fuyao and I have experienced no ill effects or lesser quality. I found a highly rated mobile installer who was far and away better priced than my other quotes that also included Safelite - who wouldn’t even...

Pretty sure you won't "destroy them in short order" compared to the F700GS you are recommending. The 800DE and T700 both have 21" front spoked wheels compared the BMW's 19" cast wheel. They both have ground clearance figures in excess of the F700GS too. There's several posts here...

I'm not sure how the Vstrom and Tenere 700 (450lbs) are being written off as street bikes, but the 1100cc Africa Twin (550lbs) is prime for offroad?? As with everything, it's a compromise. Any bike that has grace on the highway, will be a handful offroad. Just be honest with yourself on the...

If the argument that Rotella T6 is only suitable for low rpm diesels and thus won’t foam in that application, why does Shell market Rotella towards motorcycles?

I like it very much. It has been one of my favorite vehicle purchases, silly I know. Everybody in the neighborhood runs around in golf carts, but you can't go outside the neighborhood streets on those, so felt that this would offer a little more functionality. It saves short-tripping the cars...

Here's a pic I grabbed this morning:

Wouldn't you want the higher moly count in the T5 for your Yamaha 125cc scooter and 140cc push mower that lack the shared wet clutch found in motorcycles specced for JASO MA/MA2? That's with me assuming that your scooter does use a dry CVT of course, as most 150cc and under scooters do.

Since you don't have a need for oil designed for a wet clutch, what oil do you use in your scooters? I'm currently looking for a 10w-40 that is not motorcycle rated that will maximize protection, fuel-economy, and power. Many suggest Shell T6, but that is motorcycle rated for a wet-clutch. The...

.95 US quarts.

I purchased a '23 Yamaha Zuma over a month ago and completed the 600 mile engine break-in. I'm now trying to land on an oil to use. I will run Pennzoil conventional 10w40 out to about 2k miles and then switch to full synthetic to satisfy that elusive engine break-in some refer to since it won't...

The PUP prices are always undulating to a crazy degree, and currently Amazon subscribe and save has the 3 pack of 5qt jugs in 5w30 priced at $64.21. I've moved on to PP Euro L 5w30 for the summer months, but I might grab a stash of the PUP at that price to run beginning this fall.

No complaints running the PUP in our Tundra and 4R, but I know it gets scrutinized here for being thin. PUP is also getting more difficult to source at a consistent price regularly. From my reading here on bitog, I sided with wanting a HTHS of at least 3.5, so decided on the Pennz Euro L...

10 miles one way. I'll edit post to make more clear. Now the wife's 4Runner has the daily errand schedule from hell.

Truck does not do any heavy towing. Work commute is a 10 mile drive on the tollway. I perform 5k/6mo OCI. I currently have Pennzoil Euro L 5w30 in the vehicle and will perform a UOA when drained.
