Bardahl availability

[GR_CoB]

Is there any place in or near NC where I can get Bardahl oil? Or maybe a website that has quick proven shipping? My short search took me to some suspicious websites, so I turned to Bitog to see if anyone here uses, used, or know where to get Bardahl in USA, preferably Eastern side of it.

The only Bardahl oil I come up with is motorcycle oil ... https://www.amazon.com/Bardahl-6110-Prem...eywords=bardahl

Lots of additives as they have always offered a bunch. but motor oil, straight up ... Not so much ...

Think he is looking for oil thicker instead. Try Liquimoly Motor Oil Saver.

Have not seen that stuff around here for some time. Just like Justice Brothers products. Don't waste your money..

Nuff said.

O'Reilly Auto Parts has Bardahl products

Also can't say I've ever seen straight-up Bardahl motor oil - just additives / chemicals.

Or Walmart

I didn't know Bardahl had their own line of regular motor oil

I've only heard of their additivies

Bardahl make quite a bit of additives for OEM's aswell..

They made a diesel fuel system cleaner for PSA, in 2 strengths, 1 to clean intensive, one to maintain a clean system. We got a tour around a Bardahl plant once when I worked for a PSA dealership.

I expected such results, but thought I'd give it a shot anyways... Yes, Bardahl has their own line of oils, but overseas (RRRRRussia lol, and a few neighboring countries) I was just hoping to find some here... Not really interested in their oil additives. Well, now I will try to get my hands on something else from overseas.... Anyone heard of "Polymerium" oils? The one that withstands independent friction and heating tests that all major companies fail? I can provide links, but they are in Russian, so... But back to it. "POLYMERIUM" - heard of it or no?

 

[BrocLuno]

Nope, never have ...

1968 ???

the lemon Yellow HK Monaro that won Bathurst (327 Chev Engined), according to an interview of the driver that I have read used an SAE "10W" oil with a multiple helping of Bardahl oil additive...500 miles at race speed, the 10W chosen to reduce HP losses.

SAE 10W??? How does the engine even last a race with that oil , even with the additives, and in 1968?? i find it a bit incredible, but then again my car supposedly can use SAE 10W in extreme cold temps.

I don't know...only going by what was reported in Australian Muscle Car Magazine when the driver was interviewed.

The oil film thicknesses must have been such that the bearings and what not were in full on boundary lubrication (additives control wear there)..still don't understand how oil consumption didn't mess with them either...

 

[Jetronic]

But with full on boundary lubrication there's no gain to be had from the thin oil. if a xW-20 can operate without too much boundary lubrication, it's not unthinkable an SAE 10W could do it aswell.

what were the requirements for a 10W in 1968?
