Hi Guy's,
A while ago I asked about using this oil in my Sportster and based on the advise I received decided to give it ago. As a thank you to the forum I also decided to get it tested to post here and any comments would be welcome.
My bike is not burning any oil only losing a bit of "blow by" to a catch can.
This oil is costing me $6 NZ a litre vs $25+ quart for Mobil 1 from a Mobil distributor and so I am happy with the choice.
Cheers.
