Wait a minute he said "Refracts".:coffeescreen:

 

The guy is full of der poopooen.

SAM:coffeescreen:

 

That's an accurate evaluation Porky.

 

And you wouldn't say similar if you got paid what he did for that load feces?

 

I would at least try not to sound like a total moron.
He even gets the weight wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong, Vics use a 20w40.

 

Refract

So as well as the temperature for my beer, I should considering which beer refracts the heat, and has it break on through to the other side.

Unkle Crusty*

 

A Harley riding friend of mine in Ca, from his first oil change on his Electra Glide always used cheap 10-40W Valvoline and the only thing he had to ever do was replace a noisy hydraulic lifter at 80,000 miles. probably $3 per quart stuff.

My HD's got only the best lubrication known to man at the time, at an average of $10 per quart.

I'm sure he laughed all the way to the bank.

Sam:biggrin:

 

I'm a fan of Victory and even I find many of the VOG videos to be quite ridiculous.

 

The dude sounded drunk.

 

I use Harley 20w50 Screaming Eagle synthetic in my XR1200, until the warranty is gone, around $11 a quart. When my extended warranty is done I will definitely find another cheaper synthetic of the same weight/grade for as cheap as I can.

 

You can use any brand of oil that you'd like as long as it is of the weight, grade, and type required by the manufacturer, and it will not void your warranty.

 

Bull **** baffles brains....

 

If you can't dazzle 'em with your brilliance, baffle 'em with your bull****.

 

And like the commercial says, make sure it captures heat.

 

My choice, not saying it is required for warranty compliance. The Victory guy hawking their oil as so much better because of heat reduction calling it "like coolant for the engine" is ignorant though. All oil does that to some extent especially in air/oil cooled engines. OK, I went to the online dictionary to define the word refraction, it refers to the "bending of light through a substance" such as light appears to change direction through a glass of water. Um, what does that have to do with reducing temperature in an engine with a liquid? I think I would rather have the heat radiated, as in out of the engine instead of bent through it.

That particular online dictionary gave you an incomplete definition. The word refraction isn't limited to just light. It is also correct to use with sound and heat.

In steel mills and casting plants you'll hear engineers talk about heat refraction and refractory materials.

Refraction is a property of materials indicating their ability to withstand heat.

Refractory materials are used for lining furnaces, reactors, crucibles, etc.

 

Run your engine for 5-10 minutes. Shut it off and drain the oil. Stick your finger in the oil. Is it hot?

 

If I had a XR1200 I'd be extremely happy---I love that bike.

I'm on my 78th motorcycle/ scooter and I've never had a lubrication problem. I mean my bikes have never had a lubrication problem and I've used everything. This must say something about oil right??

When I raced 2 stroke bikes, for many, many years, the right oil could make the difference between finishing a race without seizing the engine up or loosing power on the top end. Some oil were very good lubricants but gummed the rings very easily requiring disassembly after every race.

In a violation of the Moss-Fergusson act, STIHL to this day requires their special "Ethanol fixer" 2 stroke oil to be used in their equipment or the warranty is no good. It is twice as much and I use it.

Sam:biggrin:

Sam:biggrin:

While it is true that you can use JASO-FB rated 2 stroke oil and still have a warranty, it is just easier to use Stihl oil and get double the warranty time. The dealer I had wouldn't warrant anything Stihl for any reason so I went to a different brand and dealer, never had any more problems. Not one time did I ever put ethanol in anything, and to this day, unless there is absolutely no choice, I never will.

I personally never had a Stihl product last as long as the warranty, even on commercial stuff. Of course, I did have a lawn business that went through a lot of heavy hands and lawns.

 

Just for the record, heat can be radiated as a form of light - ever used an infrared lamp? So, refraction and reflection are, technically, valid terms when used with heat conduction/extraction. But, in the context of oils, conduction is, by far, the primary path, and ALL synthetics conduct heat a little bit better than oil cracked from petroleum.

 

I mostly use Amsoil for all vehicles other than my Farm equipment and then I use Rotella-T, non-synthetic.:wink:

They have a very astute saying here in Hicksville: Earl is Earl and Tars is tars and Bubs is Bubs:biggrin:

Sam:coffeescreen:

 

When your ac is cooling the air, the freon is "capturing" heat from the air then putting it back into the outside air.

 

Yep... and with a heat pump that heat is put back into the house.

 

But doesn't all these require a heat exchanger? Fins/coils. Where is that with the oil?

 

I know little about Vics. Don't they have an oil cooler?

 

My guess is that the Victory oil doesn't carry heat any better or worse than any other oil.

 

Have to get a Vic owner. I have no idea.

 

Well seems today is Put Down Victory Day .. 1st Off OlDeadeye is Correct this Idiot had no clue didn't even get the Weight of Victory Oil Correct, Much less anything else .. Secondly, Owner Andy (Narrator) of Victory Owners Group Forum has gone on and sold the Forum and a Great Guy Personally and Kept the Forum going with some of these Videos as Enerrtainment, had no clue about Victory Engines or what made them tic .. A few VOG Forums members may not like that statement but I call them like I see them .. Now on my Point of View .. Am Betting Any Good Quality Oil within Specs and Proper Weight will do just fine and I hate Oil Debates and won't get into one .. Will Just state KevinX, Lloyd Greer, Rylan Vos whose names won't have meaning to many but they are the Gurus of Victory Power which thanks to them have 114 HP and 118 Torque on my Victory Now.. Recommend Using the OEM Victory Oil and Proven it to Stand up even even to Super Charged and a Turbo Power on a Victory Engine .. But Thanks for the Laugh on the Video anyway .. And Yes They Have Oil Coolers and EFI Standard Equipment ..

 

I wasn't putting down Victory motorcycles at all.

But I certainly would put down both of the turds in that video.

Clueless.

 

On That Totally Agree ..

 

Like they say in the used car business: "There's an ass for every seat." Remember when Slick 50 was $70/pint? It doesn't cost nearly that much any more, but the fact that it's still available...

 

:Gasp: That guy's riding a Victory wearing HD boots!!

 

I've worn a pair of HD boots for nearly 10 years. As I ride a Victory, I do get a little grief from friends, but they were really good boots that I just had to recently retire because they just plain wore out. If they still made the style I have, I would buy another pair
