[QUOTE="teknition, post: 1058040, member: 60403"] welll....tell ya what....if your willing to "test" out the stp in your clutch case i'm even willing to buy it for ya. When i was young and foolish, I did in fact add some stp to my first street bike, and i can tell you for a FACT it WILL make your clutch slip. When they test oils as you probably well know they put different additives in it and test it to see what it will do. After all the pencil pushing and calculating is done, the way they do this is to take a brand new engine and tear it apart and mic everything then reassemble it and put it on a dyno. Then they put their test oil in the engine and run it. Sometimes they run it normally and then tear it apart and mic it again to see how their oil did in that circumstance. Sometimes they run the engine screaming at full throttle all day long for 2 or 3 days straight and then tear it down. Sometimes the engine grenades all over and they go back to the drawing board. My point is basically that there are different additive packages for different applications. The additives that are packaged in the oil for my old chevy pickup arent necessarily good additives for a dirt bike engine running at 4 or 5 or more times the typical RPM thet the truck is running. If one oil was good for everything they wouldnt hire oil engineers to design and test different oils and invest billions of dollars in research facilities. They would just have one tap and all the oil would come out of that and they could slap different labels on the bottles so they could charge whatever they felt like that day. Sorry if I pissed in your cornflakes with my first post as you are obviously the head oil guru around here and I unknowingly posted what I had been informed was correct not realizing I ,along with a billion other people are just puppets for the oil companies. Im hoping they will send me my cheque soon. So now i will let you carry on guruing and will leave my comments off this site so I dont unknowingly post something that you may not like or have heard 1000 times before. Tek [/QUOTE]
