jjg3 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 If you haven't read the latest Blackstone Lab Newsletter, "The Oil Report" give it a go. It's a hoot. Tried to find it on the webpage, but the newsletter list there does not seem to include the 'newsletter' they email out, or it's not posted yet. Whatever, this one has an article on sampling unopened old oil (do you still call it NOS?). To keep it somewhat on-topic, included is a result of a test sample of what appears to be a can of 70's vintage 'AMF Harley-Davidson Premium Grade Motorcycle Oil' On a tangent, it never ceases to amaze me that there are folks out there who think oil analysis is 'for entertainment purposes only' or something akin to that, and that somehow the quality of oil is related to either the name or the price. I guess that's why the marketing departments get the most $. Link to comment
Huzband Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Oil thread, we've never had one of these before. Link to comment
g_frey Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Did I miss it? Are these oils still good? Do the specs listed mean that they are still good if they meet those specs? Link to comment
jjg3 Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 It was not intended to be an 'oil thread' per-se, as I suggest nor slam any particular oil, simply a suggestion that one might find it interesting or amusing to read the newsletter. It appears inserting an opinion on marketing was my undoing, I just couldn't help myself, sorry. Link to comment
