makes no sense post

That's because he's from Barnsley where they miss out the odd word here and there in a sentence when talking. We're supposed to fill in the gaps. Oh and Chric also talks about people he knows as we all know them.

Check the http://www.bobistheoilguy.com forum to find out about all this stuff. From what I gathered, unless it has friction modifiers (which 40-grade oils typically do not), it is ok for use in a bike (meaning it won't hurt your clutch). However, car oils are typically lower in ZDDP (the zinc-phosphorus high pressure additive which is so important in a shared sump set-up like a bike), so your shifting will likely suffer. Finally, 10w-40 oils are typically prone to shearing (especially if they are mineral) as they typically make use of viscosity improvers (long-chain molecules, whch get sheared by the gears in the tranny), so your 40-grade will be a 30-grade in no time. There are some decent automotive oils that can be used in bikes (such as the Castrol Edge 0W30, one made in Deutschland which is a borderline 40-grade and EXTREMELY robust). A cheap alternative is the Shell Rotella (may be marketed as Rimula on the Continent) 15W40 HDEO which is very robust and does an excellent job (cheap too). Read up gents and quit listening to the old wives' tales about oils......

Getting all to complicated even in the tractor world lots of deffernt grads.
Engines getting more refined lots of eu rules on emissions etc.
All started on this ring free stuff now.(wait for the comments)
