porterb123 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Just picked up a copy of Sport Rider that has an article on oil types, properties, aditives, ratings, etc. Very interesting. It is a 2 part writeup, with Dyno tests and chemical analysis coming up next moth. They delve into clutch slipage. Should help put a little definative light on the Dino/ synthetic debate.

severdog Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Porter- Yeah, I got last issue's "part I", which is mostly background as to what oils are "synthetic" and what all the terms mean, like JASO, etc. I am looking forward to the Part II bakeoff. My sense is that they're not really going to great lengths to test popularly used cage oils, based on the lineup that they showed in part I.....but I could be wrong. I'd love to get a reprint of the MCN oil article from last winter, as the issue was supposedly addressed there quite well. ....but it was interesting to note how many independent oil "authorities" ran mobil one red cap in their bikes.

Pete in PA Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I've got the 2 part MCN oil article in print form. Any ideas how to get it online? BTW Mobil 1 is the top or at the top of all tests, most importantly viscocity retention. I really like how mobil 1 kicks the ass of "bike" oils coating $12 a quart.
