...we gave you the language, use it properly.

Oh dear, are you chaps still obsessing over that? Look, we sent you Madonna...you're welcome!

Besides, observe how we have improved the language. Remember who to thank next time you say "BLING...SHIZNIT...or BOOTYLICIOUS".

Just a friendly joust with my old UK pal, nothing serious. ---------- Good point Xealot, why didn't I think of those.

It wasn't meant as a "friendly joust". I'm truly thankful they've taken Madonna off our hands. If they can find a home for Britney Spears I'll gladly cover the airfare.

Basic organic chemistry is pompous?


Alas?





Boredom's a b!tch, hunh? 
It's alright.  I've been in your position.  You're just trying to have the last word. 
You'll feel pretty stupid soon, if you don't already.

No, pompous is you spouting organic chemistry on a simple thread where I am making a case for not wasting money on overpriced overhyped motor oil when there is no valid reason to do so------now don't you feel stupid. Do you really think anyone here understands or even cares to understand any of your self important blathering about molecular activity and such.

Errrm......What makes you think I use those terms, I dont, but in saying that certain people over here do. Fortunately I am far too intelligent, (and probably too good-looking as well  :cool:) to be confused with one of them.

Madonna???  WTF is he......didnt he play football once for Argentina?

it'd get about as much done. folks for whatever reason cling to a brand of oil like it's in their own veins. it's been stirred so many times....... you know :)

GeeP

Oh come'on Ohgood, you have a favorite brand of way oil, instrument oil, coolant, or something, don't you?   :D
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

I doubt Argentina even has a football team...if they do, the Dallas Cowboys could whip em easily. :thumb:

Yes people...I know football=soccer...

I think it's been the case on BITOG that it's not the oil that shears it's molecules, it's the viscosity index improvers which if you wanna know the chemical composition is an ethylene-propylene copolymer, which is not 100% stable under repeated shear stresses. When those go your high temperature viscosity drops dramatically from something like 10w-40 down to 10w-20. The winter weight doesn't change cause that's the base oil and it's stable in practically anything but a furnace. It's why 15w-40 oil is so popular because you start with a thicker base oil and have less viscosity index improvers. One good thing is that eventually your oil will thicken back up due to oxidation over a very long not recommended oil change interval and you'll be back in viscosity but you'll probably face a whole host of other problems by then like your engine seizing. But there is no need for 8 buck a quart MC oil because it's nothing special other than a fancy bottle or MLM scheme (I'm looking at you AMSOIL!), the only thing better than Rotella would be a fully synthetic oil but then again regular oil changes by GSjack have proven that valves will wear out faster than oil lubricated engine components so why bother with even synthetics when you'll have to rebuild the engine anyways, in my case I'll just part the bike out and buy something else.

Only thing that is annoyign the shaZam! out of me is when some people...oj....dont understand how to type thier post outside the quote they are quoting.  In turn making it appear as though they are quoting themselves when they havent actually posted those words yet.  Its funny as a joke when you quote and change the words of someone elses post....but sad when you quote a post and then f%$k it up repeatedly by typing your reply in with the quote....ahhhhhh!!!!  f%$king LEARN TO USE THE FORUM Buddha Loves You! YOU ARE ANNOYING ME WITH YOUR DISREPECTFUL ATTITUDE. YOURE JUST A DUMB ASS WHO LIKES TO START shaZam!!  wladziu dropped a bomb on your ass but your too stupid to comprhend what he was even saying.  THANK GOD I DONT KNOW YOU PERSONALLY! but i digress...its 130 in the afternoon.....and ive drank way too  much for this forum today and im in a bad mood after workign on my jeep in the hot sun.  MY apologies to everyone buuuuut...OJ the dickface...i gotta go find me some plutoian death volvo! peace
Plutonian Death volvo is [NOT] your friend!

what would happen if i drained all the oil and replaced it with WD-40?

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?
2. These oil discussion have been going on since the dawn of time (apparently), so you need to realize that there are going to be people who agree and people who disagree.  Calling people stupid/pompus/etc. isn't going to convince anyone to listen to you; however, presenting empirical evidence will.  Provide some objective proof and you'll have a stronger case than whining and complaining.  We need to start up moderated debates (http://www.actdu.org.au/archives/actein_site/owndebate.html).
3. When you quote on a forum, add your comments/response AFTER the [/quote]

Now Now shizn, It isn't nice to call people names. If you read my original post you will find nothing inflammatory about it, I was merely posting some observations that I had made that might prove helpful to someone. Then certain people took it upon themselves to insult me for even having the audacity to post another oil thread. If I see a relentlessly boring, or redundant thread ( like how do I go about adjusting my valves ) I simply ignore it, 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?
