SAE70 is 0W-70, apparently.

Gotta love how monograde oil becomes a multigrade, really makes you want to trust the seller...

If there is no "W" (as in xW-yy) on the label then it has no winter (W) rating. Yeah, the seller doesn't know what's going on ... trust the bottle label.
 
Whoever made the ad must think the W rating must be "0" since thsre isn't a W on the bottle. 😄
 
Mike Morgan & Crawl... the perfect moozic to listen too waiting for a straight 70 grade to crawl out of the bottle...

if you have never poured sae60...dont even consider sae70.

ive tested sae60 and that stuff was very slow to pour at 90F ambient. i would not recommend 60w for anything less than 85F ambient.
for sae70 i would say 90F minimum.
yes it will stay on the cam lobes between rides, but getting it up there again is a chore for that little pump!
 
70 is not a real SAE grade, it's just syrup used in drag cars mostly.
SAE (J306) doesn't even define a "SAE70" in the gear oil grades either. There's a "70W", but no straight "70".

SAE80 gear oil has a KV100 about the same as an SAE20 to a thick SAE30 KV100 range (7.0 to 11.0 cSt).

The label also claims JASO MA2. It's not on the current JASO EV-4T list so they must be claiming compliance and not registration.
 
The dishonestly paired with the blatant igorance of online sellers makes for quite the scene worthy of inclusion in "Idiocracy II, If We Only Knew".

most maple syrup will pour easier than sae60. i have 3 bottles of different brands of maple syrup in my pantry right now and i just tested them
against my sae60....sae60 is slower at my garage temp of 75f (as i type this)
