The case for using car oil in your bike.

[Esteban]

...I don't waste my time checking in and calling him a single digit mouth breathing lunkhead-----or even duckface, like my pal shiznuts. Why bother?

PS----Shiznuts, do you always post mindless illiterate gibberish, or do you only do this when you are very angry?

I'd read over your post again, because you contradicted yourself immediately after saying you don't flame people.

OJ, people like to poke fun here, but the problem is that you make a lot of statements (e.g., "...todays  small and midsized cars engines are stressed far more that the average bike engine [sic]") based upon your beliefs, rather than any hard data.  As I *just* said, if you provide an objective analysis (rather than your 2 case observations), then people will be more receptive.  From my understanding, most oil comparisons are made using UOAs to compare wear (for example, see here: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=49&page=1).  Provide sources for your statements and we can take them seriously.

You are making this way too complicated, I made some observations, and I stated a couple of actual cases that I have personally observed. Make of it what you wish---an abused ex police bike gets 130,000 miles on nothing but cheap Castrol car oil and it's still running like a top. ( so much for the old board theory that your valve seats are toast at 80,000 miles ) A hard driven Honda Accord has 10w- 30 car oil in the manual transmission for 150.000 miles---no breakdown of oil, or at least no indication. Take it or leave it no need to trash me and then get pissed when I push back.

Oh come'on Ohgood, you have a favorite brand of way oil, instrument oil, coolant, or something, don't you?   

when i slam into the oil rack with a cart, something will fall into the cart. if it doesn't burst on impact, i use it.

what ? i'm serious. dude !

[ojstinson]

ohgood, you're one of the good guys here, you don't get involved with all this petty BS and bickering---Kudos old buddy!

Hmm..

All these years, I've been using a dart board to make tough decisions.

Might have to start using a cart and the oil rack.

1. As I stated, gallons of MC oil, "car oil", and Rotella truck oil are all the same price at my local Strauss auto parts store, so the MC oil is definitely not overpriced.  So, if my manual tells me to use API/JASO certified oil, why not?[/quote]

I wish Strauss Auto Parts wasn't only in NYC, NJ, and Philly.  At the other end of NY where I live, Rotella is $2.69/quart, which is less than half as much as any motorcycle specific oil on the market.  I haven't seen motorcycle specific oil for $2.69/quart since Reagan was president.  I'm not calling you a liar but you should re-check the prices you've been paying because it's less than half what I can get it for.  I think I have to raise the  flag on this one.

[wladziu]

Ha!   Whispering eye!




How long do you think he's gonna keep trying to have the last word?  We could make a new game out of it!  Take turns!


(At least until it's tard-farmed, as it should have been originally.)

[ojstinson]

Looks like the comedy team of; Hey look at me I'm the last word in oil technology, so why ain't I rich, and ---I'm not really a blithering illiterate retard, I just play one on motorcycle forums.---Is back to put a smile on my face. Which one of you is the short fat guy----every comedy team needs one of those.

He is right here......with a special message for you.....

[ojstinson]

Old shiznuts never lets us down, still can't spell worth a damn-----love your hat old buddy!

[shiznizbiz]

ROFL!!!!!! Im actually short and fat.  with a medium length beard and a severe case of alcoholism AND a small pee pee which makes me angry because i cant please any women.  They are generally disgusted by my scent and my apearance clothed let alone naked.  The "backne" doesnt help any either. The worst part being i cant even flat foot at a light whilst straddling my lowered gs at a light. lol....and....I own you. you just dont know it yet because your stuck in lala land tryign to get the last word in because you are a whispering eye face. SO go ahead and do as the shirt above ask you to. BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! go munch on a porcupine @$$hole, oj. lol
The blithering illiterate retard of this forum has spoken.

Well said old buddy, glad you finally came to your senses and allowed your caregiver to interpret your unintelligible grunts, utterances,  frantic gestures, etc. and type them out for you. Somewhere in the depths of that addled old brain lies a personality and a wonderful sense humor and timing----please don't ever give up the "Team"-----the oil professor and most of all -----We need you!!!!

Whew, ok, then I just realized that the Rotella at my Strauss (here: http://maps.google.com/maps?sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&q=strauss+lawrence+shopping+center&near=New+Jersey&fb=1&split=1&gl=us&li=lmd&z=14&t=m) is waaaaaaaaaay overpriced.  Gallons of Rotella, Castrol MC oil, and some other namebrand car oils were between $23-$25 a gallon ($5.75-$6.25/quart) when I picked up a gallon for my change.  And very true, at those prices, your Rotella is less than half than the oils at my local shop

Not that it matters (other than for brownie points I guess), but I'd be happy to drop by the Strauss and take pictures to show how they are gouging for Rotella and car oils.

[ojstinson]

Thank you Esteban, we are finally getting back to the subject of oil------it's about time.
Btw, those prices are outrageous---you don't pay that much for name brand synthetics.

Louisville Kentucky, isn't that the birthplace of Cassius Clay?-----Pretty Cool.

[shiznizbiz]

Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr was indeed born in this very city.  Also we are famous for the Kentucky Derby, which happens this coming weekend.  The Louisville slugger is also made here, hence the Louisville.
