Oil FAQ sheet





Pretty good study on different grades of oils, I found this way back when I still frequented MX6.com. Gives ya something to think about before that next oil change.

What if 20 some years of abuse has made the sticker un-legible?



Could someone look at the faq sheet then?

I run straight up 50 weight.



Just like the faq said, the way multi grade oils work is the polimers reaction to heat. They dont help lubrication at all, so why **** with it. Just takes a little longer to warm up...
