hey today something funny happened to me when i was at Autobarn with by brother.

I went to buy oil for ny VN and was very specific about the one i wanted to buy. The salesman (About 65) tels me to get 10/40 not 30/70 because apparently oil is thicker when it's hot lol.

My brother and i were arguing for ages telling the arragent old man that oil is thinner when hot it has to be to work and that's why you change it when it's hot.

I'm glad i put my foot down and brought the oil i needed because this guy didnt know what he was on about .

just remember not to rely on the salesman lol.

What a STOOGE!!
 

I'll show you the Rick James cell. It's superfreaky!.

Nah what i'm saying was if the Vn was new put in 10/40 all the way also this reduces engine wear this will be fine for your car VN91SX but my old girl is very tired and needs to wear a daiper so 30/70 it needs to hold it's water lol.

never used any higher than 15/40 in any of my cars. If it leaks fix the leak or keep topping up :)
 

What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared.
