I believe that's to avoid shorting out.

You're getting close to euro pricing of fuel.... 95ron E10 is about 1.6 euro here for 1 litre, or about 6 euro for a gallon

So the limit for that oil is somewhere between 10,000 and 30,000 km? The wear particle count per 10,000km is still higher than the mobil 1 though and actually on par with the high wear analysis....

it wasn't Mobil1 0W-40 FS. lower viscosity, lower everything except wear metals really

I said, in my experience, and I've experienced 3 cylinder engines for the better part of 20 years now. They don't vibrate much due to balancer shafts but all have had induction noise up the wazoo but not the performance to match. Combine that with almost always a very wide open throttle during...

And in my experience, 3 cylinder engines are loud. Vibrations can be adressed but the noise from some is fun for about 5 minutes....

The reason I order vehicles from the factory is because I don't want one that sat for months somewhere, possibly being moved a couple of yards now and then. This defeats the purpose. Nothing good comes from it, but maybe nothing bad either. For me it has so far always paid off, ordered the...

The ravenol motobike 4t ester 10W-30 I bought last (for use in a car engine btw) contains more moly than a typical acea oil. also more zddp than an acea c3 but less detergents than an A3/B4

It's a GM 1.5 ecotec, Im pretty sure the one in my (soon to be delivered) HS is just the turbo version of the same engine. I'm amazed even the ZS is roomier than the Duster. How are the gearshifts? I suspect it's got a chinese transmission, as the HS does, at least in auto form.

There could be merit if the issue is carbon in the ringland area. Thicker MOFT is always a good idea, and a ggod way to get that is higher HTHS viscosity

You're in luck. If the band is good, it really doesn't have to be your type of music to have a wonderful experience.

Most of the time, pistons, rings, pins will be replaced when rebuilding. basically rods, blocks and crank is kept

The oil I'll be using next has 3.3% noack. I'm not bothering with oils that I don't know the stats for anymore.

Yes, but some certifications have noack limits, so if an oil is approved (but not recommended or suitable) you know the max Noack.

To my understanding, yellow metal safe means it won't corrode yellow metals. It does not however mean the EP additives will not have a stronger bond than the yellow metal itself, effectively ripping the gear apart every time the sacrificial layer gets worn off, resulting in accellerated wear

I know what you mean, and I'm saying the iones that do turn orange seem to have a green glow when on full brightness

me too, it turns out to be cheaper to use incandescent. But cfl lasts and if gotten for pennies outperforms everything regarding total coo.

Wheel bearing grease for cars is often lithium based, but a bicycle is likely better served with a calcium sulfonate grease. water resistance, EP properties and friction reduction. make some speed calculations (rpm vs diameter) to see what base oil viscosities are appropriate

And here it's opposite, often misty untill 11 AM, and clear until sundown (if we get sun at all)

flickering = not dimmable... I'm not a huge fan of dimmable leds unless you need them on a dimmer, the colour always seems a bit off to me. I guess because the ones I tried have a combination of white leds (only used at full power) and yellowish leds to mimic the warm glow of dimmed...
