Actually seems pretty phonetic.

Those are engine oil addpacks and materials for specific formulations supplied in high volume for commercial blending. OP was asking originally about OTC aftermarket additives.

It took me a minute to get used to using the front brake as the primary even though I've been riding since I was a kid. I just had it ingrained in my head, not to touch the front brake unless it is an emergency from bicycles as a kid. I flipped over the handlebars enough time because of too...

This, like every other JASO related thread these guys chime in on, would fit right into the r/ConfidentlyIncorrect subreddit. You're fighting the good fight, Zee, but it isn't worth your time or frustration to argue with those who are convinced they are correct despite having zero experience.

No to the additives question. I suppose somewhere in the wild wide world, there is something like that, but the effort to find it wouldn't be worth the effort. Doing an oil change with the right oil will go a very long way to correcting it. If you wanted to be extremely cautious, you could do...

We get small ones not all that infrequently, but a strong one like this, felt so widely, is uncommon, yeah.

They're saying 20 miles W of North Plainfield was the epicenter. Strongest one I've felt before.

It would be pretty cool if you didn't make efforts to get this thread locked.

Beam Global They focus on solar powered chargers that are modular and easily mobile. I think part of the idea is to provide charging and power to off-grid areas and for disaster areas when power is knocked out.

No, I can't say I have. Fork oil wear resistance numbers on low-load sliding contact wear was pretty consistent with what you'd see in a good hydraulic oil.

That's pretty much right. Shock oils, yes, hot hot hot. VI is the most important property. Fork oils might hit maybe 90°F if it isn't already hotter outside so VI is pretty much inconsequential when you formulate it for the operating temp.

I know you don't want to consider viscosity, but simply put, and engine oil's low temp viscosity will be really high. You'd probably have to compare it to a "30W" fork oil at least. Besides that, an engine oil like Mobil 1 probably won't have the level of shear stability you'd want to see. A...

Checking for autoimmune issues is a good idea. My middle child was having a lot of issues with energy and eventually some other symptoms pointed us in the direction of Lyme's. Turned out to be correct, he got treatment, and he's been good for years since it was addressed.

In my experience, the items aside from viscosity, that were considered during formulating fork oils were these, in this order: 1. Low shear 2. Low friction 3. Wear resistance 4. Anti-foam 5. Anti-oxidation Anti-foam and anti-oxidation are both very important, but they are just so dang easy to...

Not usually no. Only time I don't go in order is like @OM605 if I'm starting downhill or rolling, or under circumstances when it makes sense to do it due to abnormal speed changes.

So you originally asked about energy per volume, but the equivalence is in mass. If by volume, premium has more energy per unit volume because of the higher density. But @RDY4WAR 's chart shows premium as being lower density, so I guess that point isn't clear. However, unless I'm mistaken...

I thought higher octane gasoline generally had a higher density. You're saying it is the opposite?

I looked at it and it is an AI generated image. :ROFLMAO: Or else a really good joke playing the extreme long game.

You gotta like them to begin with, which not everyone does, but I am trying to switch from potato chips to pork rinds as a snack to cut down carbs a bit. Chips are one of my favorite things to eat, so the change makes a difference for me diet-wise. I was surprised to find out how minimally...
