[QUOTE="radman, post: 665, member: 167"] I have been in the auto repair biz for 35 years. I was with GM when they sent the TSB stating not to use 10w40 because of ring sticking due to the additives. I was there when they disallowed warranty claims for oil use after this was made common knowledge thru-out the dealer network. I have seen the results of 10w40 oil on piston ring lands. Most of the diesel oils scooters are using are synthetic 5w40, and are quite a bit different than 10w40 dino oil. And the Norton article is from 1990 or so. It was put forward as something interesting, not as a definitive treatise on oil. Search my ass. :wacko: [/QUOTE]
