Ah, Easy Rider's thread Skippernick, not mine... I'm merely the bloke who (inadvertently) started the argument.
But, it's turning out to be more fun than I'd expected. :lol
The Major may be correct, perhaps when we buy oil with the word Motorcycle on the container we are just paying over the odds for car oil. However, I'll stick with my current choice.
A) I've used car oil in a bike previously and had problems.
B) Car and bike engines are very different... it's not unreasonable to expect that oil companies can tailor products to cope with different requirements.
C) By replacing my slightly pricier oil at the recommended service intervals I'm saving money and spending less time getting my hands dirty than the Major who doesn't actually have the courage of his convictions and so changes his oil twice as often. [/size] :pokefun
