You haven't missed anything, yet, Gordon. We haven't accused anyone of nazism, fascism, compared synthetics to Hitler/Stalin/GWBush.

You'll have to check in on the current "Global Warming" thread for that kind of entertainment!

Butter burns at too low of a temperature. Use a little peanut oil in a cast iron skillet to pop, and then drizzle with melted butter.

oh hell no. I threw up a little the first time I read the words "Straw Man Argument" there. All anyone needs is a collection of people who are absolutely convinced they are right arguing.

Can I use the peanut oil on my air cleaner cover when I am done popping my corn?

?

Frankenkit · « **Reply #30 on:** January 13, 2010, 09:18:42 PM »

oooh probably. It'll be nice and warm and maybe soak into the plastic better.

And then when you're stranded in the middle of the Mojave desert because you used the wrong kind of oil on a road trip and your engine seized, you can suck on your air box for moisture and sustenance!

Personally I recommend Rotella, or was that Nutella?
Either one should do something in your engine.

Good luck!

This may have an effect, too. Who knows what kind of effect.

Actually, you might do better using the stuff to lube yer axle.

Why can't you believe in what the manufacturer recommends?

Because at least in Harley and Harley's recommendations, their brand of oil has been shown to be extremely poor in quality, but what does it matter if your using *their* oils will ensure your need to return to them for costly repairs down the line? Product reliability vs. Long Term Profits seem to be a fine, fine line for companies these days and perhaps also mutually exclusive.

Sorry, I kinda thought we were talking about Honda SOHC4s. You got a beef with Honda Oil?
And, aside from Harley, what manufacturer wishes that their machines return early for warranty repairs, or want their machines to gain the reputation of being short lived?

Stay away from my peanuts!! Rotella is reasonable at Wally World in a gallon or 5 qt jug but we better give it a rest and use what we feel best.

It's been a long time, but I think this is appropriate here:

Oil? uuh, err, um, I vote yes! I would defenitely use some. I use my old race car oil, it only gets about 21 miles on it. 3 time runs and five rounds to win, on a good day, 2 miles racing, 2 coasting after the finish line and 3 driving around the pits x 3 races.

I use Pro Honda certified bacon grease. If pure bacon grease won't help my bike run, nothing will.

If there's detergent in the oil will my oily clothes and shop towels come cleaner in the wash?

Rotella 15-40, readily available anywhere, it has zinc which is good for these engines and avoids additives that are harmful to our clutches.

when it's really hot, I also run some old castrol 20w50 from the late 70s that I found in the attic from my dad. Still got about 12 qts of it.

You do know that regular motor oil goes bad like every consumable after a certain period of time, right?

I wouldn't use oil that is more than a couple of years old if I were you.

Didn't know that, It looks good, viscosity seems right.

If my motor breaks, I'll know why!

Your avatar is composed of win, Shizzo, and the only thing that can make it better is oil. hot oil.

Ha ha ha! My bike already had oil in it when I bought it so I didn't have to worry about what kind to use!

Why don't you just poor sand in your engine? Pro Honda certified bacon grease is formulated with heavy detergents and energy saving friction reducing agents!

Just picked up 3 quarts of GN4 this morning.
