Can someone send me a edited copy where they voiced over him and edited in a bobble head or a talking cat or something...
On YT he has 151K subs, that's pretty good for somewhat niche subject matter. Man, I wish I had that many! Overall the comments on his videos are positive and indicate there is an audience for his content. Just b/c folks here don't like it (still not sure why?) doens't mean much in the larger picture. This is an incredibly niche forum and quite frankly, pedantic to the point it's ridiculous at times...that doesn't make content average folks want to see or read.The reason the channel gets a bad rap [ON BITOG] is it offers next to nothing. It's like a bowl of iceberg lettuce covered in white sugar.
What I got out of it was that there was in fact a difference in motorcycle oil and typical automotive motor oils.Here's a summary of the video:
Motorcycle oils are unique.
There's no specs like API or ILSAC
Amsoil has a testing lab
Amsoil makes motorcycle oils.
Air cooled engines get hot.

Like any racing team out there, having sponsors, especially one's that supply your team with free oil helps keep them in business. Put some stickers on your vehicle, wear a tee shirt with the brand your promoting, and there's one more item you don't have to buy. Will it make your vehicle run cooler, cleaner, quieter and last longer ?, if it does what it's made to do, sure. But if you look at every brand of oil made, you will find thousands of people that will claim the oil they use is the best. So, who's right and whose wrong ?. If you were to use $10 a qt oil, and another person used $20 a quart oil, and if both vehicles lasted 200k miles with no engine damage, which is the better oil?.,,I don't think I would say he has no real world experience? He developed race oils for Joe Gibbs Racing which has NASCAR teams and also had a Pro Motocross Team until a few years ago.
I have definitely noticed the difference in oils when used in higher performance off road/MX bikes with shared sumps. Shifting and clutch performance are generally where I have noticed.

There used to be near death duels about this fact! Most people on BITOG said "No difference" (wrongo groupo think)................ there was in fact a difference in motorcycle oil and typical automotive motor oils.
Wrongo group indeed.There used to be near death duels about this fact! Most people on BITOG said "No difference" (wrongo groupo think)
What is your youtube channel? Do you race your super bugs?On YT he has 151K subs, that's pretty good for somewhat niche subject matter. Man, I wish I had that many!

But that is not the question, gas\diesel..... it has to do with wet clutches. M1 0w40 FS is CF rated, and SP, but not JASO MA....there is a reason.this includes euro oils which are all dual use gas/diesel nowadays
Just look at my profile. Link is there under "website".What is your youtube channel? Do you race your super bugs?

Ill but Lake jr. would know specifically why. But that is a good question. My guess would be soot dispersancy by in large. Some diesel oil do contain friction modifiers though. interesting subject.No, for me the question is, why do diesel oils not have friction modifers? What about OPE, marine oils, compressor oils?
In fact it might just be only API oils contaim them.... why?
No, for me the question is, why do diesel oils not have friction modifers?
Ok. Then what are we all here on this forum doing the exact same thing for then? Isn't that why Bob is the Oil Guy exists?Like any racing team out there, having sponsors, especially one's that supply your team with free oil helps keep them in business.

Same with my Moto Guzzi V7 Special. Air cooled, gear lube for tranny and shaft drive, dry clutch. Plus a push rod, two valve motor. Doesn't get much better than that. Don't know why MG didn't just throw some hydraulic lifters in and be done with it. MG specs Castrol Edge 10w-60. Around $20 per quart.I love my Air cooled BMW bikes. Gearbox takes GEAR lube, dry clutch …no oil quandary at change time. Their newer bikes are different….just to keep you guys posting.![]()
I would like to clarify my above statement.It seems that way.
He clearly knows his stuff when it comes to lubricants.
