[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 1058158, member: 22283"] I am definately NOT the "oil guru" around here. There are members here who can run rings around me in both chemistry and physics. I am but a student of tribology. And hope to be until I hit the pine box. And I have entered into so many of these threads concerning folks passing along track myth and dealerspeak BS that your small bit of rant won't effect the humidity of my cereal one bit, tek. I think you do offer up quite a bit more speculation than you do fact. But then, so do all the folks who pass along that sort misinformation. It is normally (this is mererly my opinion) due to the fact that they have spent loads of cash buying into the silly BS that gets thrown around, and feel they need to find some sort of justification for spending $10-$12 qt. for oil. Other times I have seen folks who provide track myth on a regular basis, as well as try to pass them selves off as an "oil guru", throw this sort of stuff around to others and expect them to blindly follow their logic. And the moment anyone provides an alternative viewpoint, the fight begins. They simply can't stand that anyone would challange the information they have been providing, no matter if they are shown to be wrong or not. These types simply will not discuss things in a civil manner. They feel they were previously seen as the daddy rabbit of oil, and their thrown has been challanged. Many times these folks will also add that they are "A" riders, which we all know makes a person an authority on all things moto. (major eyeroll) And, tek... I think you would be surprized to see just how many times an oil mfg or formulator will provide two nearly identical oils that are both marketed to different applications, with two completely different pricing structures. It's not the engineers that work for these companies that are pulling the wool over your eyes, its the bean counters and marketing genius' that do that. And they have no plans at all on sending you, or anyone else a check. And why should they? You keep sending them one. [/QUOTE]
